Geee Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 National Review: A really long excerpt from the Morning Jolt today, to get you in the midterm mood… The Great Big End-of-September Midterm Election Roundup We’re weeks from Election Day. I have bad news and good news for Republicans. I am told by some campaign consultants that for much of the past two years, Republican donors have felt a malaise. You see it in both the individual campaign fundraising numbers, the committee fundraising numbers, and the spending by outside groups. A lot of wealthy Republican donors – or even a not-so-wealthy Republican donors – are asking if it’s worth it. They dug deep to help out their favorite candidates in 2012, and watched their guys lose – Romney, of course, but also a slew of seemingly winnable Senate races. They’re not sure their donations do much good. They’re increasingly wondering if the American political system is a lost cause, if the electorate has become addicted to Democrats’ vote-buying spending programs, too tuned out to care about scandals, oblivious to serious problems and getting their political views shaped by Hollywood and pop culture. This doesn’t even get into the issue of fearing an IRS audit or being publicly demonized like the Koch brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
