1.8 million dollars for a 175,000 dollar job. Absurd. Seriously the spending is insane and in the long run a waste of money. I would imagine that if a person was really passionate about their beliefs, they wouldn’t need to spend a ton of money.
What I want to know is how does McConnell have that kind of dough to spend! Did he have a fortune before he entered politics or is he a Harry Reid clone?
Keep in mind that Grimes is raking in record-setting (according to her campaign, anyways) amounts of money. Her last filing showed a take above $5 million.
Thats money thats not going to other Dem candidates. McConnell doing this might even spur Dems to donate more to her campaign as a counter-measure.
I still think McConnell wins by about 5. But even if he loses enough Liberal $$$ has flowed into electing Grimes to swing two or three other races to the GOP side.
Given it's all he's ever done, that 1.8 million represents 10 years of gross income. Which is indeed absurd. Unless being in the Senate somehow magically translates into much more than just base salary, through sources which would be considered shady if spoken of openly, like legal insider trading. Then it might make perfect sense. Which it does.
