Karma. Obama won his senate seat because the GOP didn't vet the dirty laundry of his first opponent (Ryan)...or simply assumed the Dims would play nice and ignore unsubstantiated accusations made against Ryan in a divorce/custody fight.
It’s remarkable, really. When you realize this was all “out there”...and many on the right wrote, blogged and published about it- and only NOW does it go mainstream, it’s easy to see the power of the MSM.
