And almost got a mormon, tax dodging, draft dodging, flip-flopping, dressage-horse owning, wall street vulture whose plan was to give tax breaks to rich people and end a woman's right to choose elected.

They have 4 years to find a candidate without so many personal "negatives" to overcome and raise another billion dollars, and they can probably do both by 2016. I'm sure they've started already.

Like not superpac $ but the maximum personal donation which is a lot in my book. I told myself that if he lost and I hadn't done all that I possibly could I would be kicking myself on Wednesday November 7th. Today I feel really good. I don't know or care how those fat cats feel. Maybe they found out that $ can't buy you love. It's sad that they didn't already know that.

Add to that $800 million, the millions that were spent trying to bring Big Dawg down. And for all that, they got his law license. THAT really hurt him, right???!!!!

for the media industry in Ohio. I bet all the jobs created helped the president's employment numbers.
