1. other - media + ignorance + Supreme Court ruling n/t

3. Emphasis on ignorance

There are lots of informed people here, despite the media. The ignorant ones could find the facts if they could be bothered to look for them. Look how many of them are STILL screaming about "government-run health care." Fucking idiots.

2. Other...it was the result of the CITIZENS UNITED decision.

Take out the massive, unregulated corporate money and you'd have seen a different result tonight.

5. Bingo. n/t

4. I actually think this was well planned and that it was ALL of the above.

6. Mainstream media & clueless voters.

My schizophrenic 25-year-old son has drank the teabag concoction, with the stapled string & tag taboot, & is a big fan of Rand Paul. He was ecstatic that Paul won.

I've explained to him in every way that the Republicans, particularly Paul, cares least about people like my son. No matter what I say to him, it doesn't phase him.

He likes Paul because he's the son of Ron Paul.

Any advice in talking him down would be most welcome.

7. The last three.....

Money, Fear & anger and ignorance.
