This may be the end of Super PACs as we know it. If nobody is buying your candidate’s message, how are you going to raise money?

Super PACS were formed to create work for political consultants not to get candidates elected.

The myth that money buys elections is being exposed here. In the past, people were fooled because the big money went to support the probable winners. They erroneously thought that the money made the winner, rather than the money following the winner (as best the buyers could discern.)

This year is no exception: the big money lobby tried to buy the candidate they thought would win. Bush. They chose poorly, and now we see that all the money in the world won't turn a loser into a winner.
