Walker recall coverage, everybody seemed to 'forget' to mention Walkers money advantage

I wasn't able to catch all M$M's coverage of the Koch brothers victory in Wisconsin, but what I did see, with all the discussion about the reasons and ramifications of the Walker win, I heard not a word mentioned about the almost 8 to 1 spending advantage Walker had.


And of all the interpretations of the "why" of the win not only was the spending advantage not even considered nobody I saw considered the GOP's mastery of whipping up resentment for those 'wealthy' teachers and other public servants. This serves the GOP well, as it distracts the suckers from the truly wealthy 1% who the GOP favor (along with corporations: "Corporations are people.&quot with tax cuts (please, let's not call them that. Let's call it "tax reform&quot .
