Before Any Premature Post-mortems

from The New Yorker on line, trying to explain McConnell's win --

....The other conclusion has to do with the eighty million dollars that went into the Kentucky race, about thirty million in the form of independent expenditures. Significantly more was spent on McConnell’s behalf than on Grimes’s. If the lesson for both sides is that they need to have the candidates with more cash, 2016 will be even uglier than 2014.

Very close to the truth.  -- The Musical Patriot
