I wonder.

Probably, she hired an undocumented Mexican housekeeper to vote for her, and then had the woman deported.

2. As long as no actual work or effort is involved.
She is truly one of the "idle rich".

5. She was counting on making it back by eliminating the CA capital gains tax.
No shit.

7. Apparently she spent something like $51.80 for every vote she got.
If she'd just sent every voter in CA a $20, she'd've spent less and probably got a helluva lot more votes.

8. honestly, I don't believe spending $120 million
on attack ads is enriching the economy. Its probably enriching a few people, but the cost to the rest of us, far outweighs making a dozen potitical consultants wealthy beyond their dreams.
