101. it is satisfying because

of the Rove meltdown and the shellacking the Citizens United took. Think about it. The people said that their vote was more important than the money poured into the Romney campaign. Yes, both sides spent over a billion dollars, but Citizens United took a big hit that will come back at us in 2016. This gives them four years to figure out how to get rid of Rove and have a better plan. They'll be ready. Will we?
