I don't think it's that simple, "former9thward". When a candidate is polling several points ahead, but loses to a very conservative candidate who works at a very conservative institution in a dept. funded by extreme conservatives, and this very conservative guy supposedly didn't spend any money, but some unknown entity did spend money (maybe millions, no way of knowing actually) on his behalf, isn't there just a teensy-weensy chance that Chuck & Dave Koch's stooges helped the guy? The Harper's Monthly article a few months back pretty much explained why conservatives are doing as well as they're doing, and it isn't very optimism-inspiring for the future of this country, unless you're a billionaire or a dedicated employee of one.
