A bunch of people are hypothesizing that the "billionaires backing Karl Rove" must be furious because they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the election and got almost nothing for their efforts, since Obama not only took a plurality, but an outright majority of the popular vote, and the GOP lost ground in both the House and Senate. They posit that the many millions were singularly ineffective, doing effectively nothing in the elections.
But what if they're wrong - that the spending was just as effective as expected and that to achieve even these inadequate results for the Republican Party requires massive support from billionaire donors. That the moment for the Tea Party is over because popular support is even less than previously thought.
Okay, that's enough about politics.
