Meg Whitman spent millions to secure her vote. She lost.
Romney has the millions of super-PACs to secure his voters. Will it bite him in the arse like it did Whitman?

Does the electorate like to think their vote can be bought?

I wish I could say that people are smarter than that - - but I can't.
people say they hate negative ads - but negative ads WORK - or they wouldn't be used.

as to "buying votes through ads". both sides have been doing it ever since the republic was founded. all the SCOTUS did was make it even more clear.
it COULD backfire - - if we're up to the challenge. Citizens United COULD get people to wake up, stand up and say, 'Enough!' finally.

or we could just sit by and watch our country go to the highest bidder. that has been the trend for some time now.

Obama is buying votes by promising Amnesty to family members and giving out freebies. All payed for by the American Taxpayer.

Consider the unions? They lost Wisconsin, which proves people can come to their senses.

when you say lost Wisconsin, since the presidential elections are yet to be held, isn't that a nit premature?

Recall, it happened not long ago. The unions busing people in, spent millions of dollars, got in some voter fraud, the works. The regular people are wising up to the liberal thugs.

If people are smart, they will do their own research and KNOW that America needs someone like Romney because we have domestic terrorists running our WH right now.

He has the EXACT, proven, successful experience which is needed for the two most pressing issues right now.
If we don't turn this train around, and quick, ..... all else doesn't matter.

"Marxist". uh huh.

If one is surrounded by Marxists and looks to his Marxist's teachers for support, then if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it is a 'duck'.
