Dollars do not win elections.
An awful lot of conservative dollars are wasted.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/dollars-per-vote/

Linda McMahon R CT-SEN $46,600,161 488,885 $95/vote Lost

Meg Whitman R CA-GOV $175,000,000 3,088,070 $57/vote Lost

If you look down this list of the top 10 in $$/vote, only 2 were winners.

Agreed that there are many factors in winning, but having more money is surely not any predictor.

Lesson learned: Dollars sent to show support are a waste. Conservative dollars must be on target where it matters.

Otherwise, we waste our resources.

I regret my wasted contributions to Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell, Joe Miller...
