on the bright side...

$$$ are important, but $$$ ain't everything!
Angle, O'Donnell, Fiorina, Whitman, Paladino - all spent tons of $$$... their own & others'. They lost.
Yeah, SCOTUS's disastrous Citizens United decision made a difference - BUT: it wasn't ALL the difference.

One other 'bright side' (personal opinion): Will I miss Blanche Lincoln?
No.
Some brilliant pundits blame Bill Halter's primary challenge.
I blame Blanche Lincoln. She dissed the Dem core. She went out of her way to diss her Senate Dem colleagues.
Yeah, we now have to live with Boozman for six years, but at least we KNOW he's not for us.
