K Rove didn't lose

Sure, his donors got zilch for their money, but that wasn't the goal for KKKRove.
If he filtered $200 million through his PAC, he is probably sitting pretty right now.

Way back since they called themselves the John Birch Society.

It's just the cost of doing business, and they still stand to grow their business by millions more with all the publicity they have gotten and all the "friends" they have made in politics. New legislation alone in conservative states will make them richer. ALEC isn't going away.
