That depends on the measure of success and failure. I’d say they succeeded. Money was shuffled off to cronies, and the GOP didn’t win enough seats to find itself “accountable to the public” under the party’s own terms.

I’d put the blame on outdated self interested consultants who never seem to actually produce winning results.

Organizations like Americans for Prosperity have produced results because they build grassroots organization to get voters out and inform them. These consultancy super pacs are just for self enrichment. Same with a number of the tea party groups that never produced meanful results last two cycles.

So Jeb’s campaign is auguring in from 10,000 feet and the problem is his PAC?

Super PACs and other outside groups pay, on average, about FOUR times what campaigns do (since campaigns get discount rates from local TV stations).

Wow! Incredible.
