Extra Bonus Quote of the Day
"I'd be asking for a refund."
What was the impact of this unprecedented deluge of media? Axelrod asked. How much influence did this actually have?
The heartening news is that you cant buy the White House; you cant overwhelm the Congress with these Super PAC dollars, Axelrod continued. I would think there will be reluctance in the future, when Mr. Rove and others come knocking on the door, because of what happened on Tuesday.

-- David Axelrod, quoted by Greg Sargent, joking what he would do if he were one of the billionaires who had handed big checks to Karl Rove.
