I heard references to his throwing a fit at their calling Ohio for President Obama. I would love to see a looped video of that.

Here's nearly half a billion do work with. Get it done.

And he fails.

That's Karl Rove tonight.

You wonder why he was making a complete fool of himself on live television? Imagine the feeling in the pit of your stomach if you couldn't live up to $300 million!

The money can not be spent in support of a candidate--meaning all the ads it funds have to be negative. And Americans hate negativity.

And then, there is the way that a handful of rich guys like Adelson and the Kochs were able to prop up total losers like Akins. And the primary battle from Hell for Mittens courtesy of all those same rich guys who kept bankrolling anyone-but-Mitt.

Anyone with half a brain saw this coming.
