Will all this citizen united money and such flowing into GOP politics further skew

their politics to the right as all manner of charlatans give up their current scam get into GOP politics? They'll have to be vocal (right wing rabid) to attract new money and huge salaries. Already the GOP finds itself with a dearth of competent candidates. Been trending this way forever I guess.

At the national level, the law of diminishing returns kicks in. Oh, we'll see a lot of vomit coming out of our TVs in the form of that breathy female telling us to call the Democrat and demand to know why he eats kittens for breakfast, but I doubt it will be more vomit than usual.

They want to turn us all into NC and Wisconsin, with teabaggers running the whole shebang, on orders from the Koch boys.

Whether or not it works depends entirely on how the Democrats play it.
