OK, so we know Gingrich or Romney is no match to Obama. So, are they just planning on buying the election for either one of the two Republicans? This really makes me angry and terrifies me. With SO MUCH $$$ there is no way they can win legally. I wish Obama had double this amount. Scary stuff here.

(5,062 posts)Yeah,but with that much money I worry about voting machines. I worry about voter intimidation. Other right wing tactics. If this were a fair election that is one thing but we know what they have done and what they are capable of doing. I want Obama to assure me, "Romantico, Chill out! I got this!" although in my head I hear Samuel Jackson and he is dropping a couple F bombs in that sentence)
