During the 2010 election cycle, the Republican Majority Campaign raised $3.6 million -- and $4 million in the 2008 presidential election cycle.

In 2008, the Republican Majority Campaign made $2.5 million in independent expenditures, fueling advertisements against then-Democratic presidential candidate Obama and $540,000 against Hillary Clinton.

4. Sarah Palin
I am surprised by how much many seem to fear Sarah Palin. 
This can be the only explanation for all of the unfavorable
