So, they will continue to sing the praises of the Koch bros, while castigating unions and any support of Dems. They have NO SHAME on this matter.

You nailed it--Rethugs have NO SHAME. What I do not understand why there is not an enormous backlash against Koch Bros., Fox News, & these out of control Republican Governors!!! Unions created the middle class & I believe that the Republican agenda is to have complete control of this country!!!

That seems to be the big take-away, though O'Donnell points out it took a 7 to 1 spending ratio for money to beat grass-roots people power. Still, money won.

Rachel Maddow suggested we might see Scott Walker as Romney's running mate. How pestilent would that be?
