Better hope he loses. Because the 'geniuses' at the GOP pulled the funding for Jones in his race against Barb Boxer in CA. That's another six years of Boxer. They pulled all that money from Jones' campaign specifically for Thune.
Jones is nearly down 20 points against Boxer. Thune has a much better chance of winning. Do you expect the GOP to waste that money when it could be better spent on Thune's campaign?
