it was on fox so it must be true

I dont know how much total spend is but she spent 40 million roughly this time and the same last time so i'd imagine she's blown quite a bit

According to CNN she spent $50 mil both times so $100 mil total.

Gee. I wonder why a shrewd business person would spend that much to get a job that doesn't pay nearly as much.

Theoretically, that should make the Senate less pro-war and not as Pro-Israel, but then I remembered that the Democrats seem to like war when they're in power and that virtually everyone in the Senate loves Israel. Sadness.

Well I guess money doesn't buy votes.

You've gotta have grassroots support or you might as well not even try.

Obviously running as a Republican in one of the Bluest states in the Union is a losing strategy. Schiff tried the same thing two years ago. She should have run for the U.S. House.

Schiff had one the most badass political commercials I've ever seen when he was running against her:

Yeah, but she's just doing that to get herself 7 million in tax breaks for herself.
