3:1 Dem spending advantage with a semi-celebrity candidate against a Republican THIS flawed? And the Dem still lost?
By nine points??

This bodes VERY VERY VERY BAD THINGS for the Donks in ‘14.
As Obamacare begins imploding in earnest, even the Todd Akin candidates are likely to be beating Democrats by then.

Let the fear and panic commence.

You hit the mark with your post.

While Sanford is a flawed candidate, this race is important because it sets the tone for 2014.

A Dem win gets their ball rolling, esp on the financial side. A loss is a setback. People - especially short attention span Dems - move on and keep their wallets buttoned.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but in a choice between two sleezebags, I suppose that I'll always pick the one who will vote the way I want.
