According to the Wall Street Journal based on exit polls, the top issues for all voters in the 2014 midterm were the economy, foreign policy, health care, and illegal immigration.

Maybe so, but the NY state Senate is now controlled by Republicans.

You know.........I can start to read a post and without even looking at your screen name know that it's a post by you. THAT is how predictable you are.

I happen to know Giffords appeared specifically in an Arizona TV commercial, and sunk millions in to the effiort to elect Ron Barber over Martha McSally. The ballots in Arizona are still being counted, and at last count, McSally was hanging on by a thread.

Even if people don't appear in adds, they still pay for and sponsor them. Giffords group spent a lot of money in this election cycle, as did Bloomberg both personally and through his Super PAC.

I know one of our Senate candidates got an A rating from the NRA and the other got an F rating (the ONLY candidate to get an F in Montana history, they say).
Guess which one won the election, and what party he represents...
Yes, those ratings got a LOT of play!
