Vor allem haben diese 6 Mrd unterm Strich kaum etwas veraendert...

Uebrigens kann man an den Ergebnissen im Repraesentantenhaus sehen, wie "erfolgreich" das Gerrymandering ist. So haben z. B. in North Carolina die demokratischen Hauskandidaten mehr Stimmen bekommen als die republikanischen (alle Stimmen addiert), von den 13 Sitzen gingen aber 9 an die republikaner und stolze 4 an die Demokraten. In Ohio oder Florida sieht es auch nicht viel anders aus. Die demokraten machen es in den von ihnen regierten Staaten zwar aehnlich, aber die Republikaner haben derzeit nun mal beinahe doppelt so viele staaten in ihrer Hand...

Ohne Gerrymandering waere evtl die Mehrheit im Repraesentantenhaus auch demokratisch.

Und das Geld kommt von wohlhabenden Spendern und geht in die eigene Wirtschaft. Ist doch super volkswirtschaftlich gesehen.

Das viele Geld hat immerhin die Spannung erhalten:

"President Obama, over the course of the campaign, outspent Mitt Romney on television by $154 million from April through November," said Collegio. "Senate Democrats -- if you take away the two self-funders in Connecticut and Pennsylvania -- outraised their Republican counterparts by $60 million. Not to mention the DSCC outraised the NRSC by another $20 million. So what Democrats did in this election extremely effectively was leverage their incumbencies to have huge financial advantages over their Republican opponents. We believe that American Crossroads by evening out the playing field kept this what was essentially a two-point race at the end."

When host Chuck Todd asked whether the election would have been a "blow-out" for Democrats without Crossroads, Collegio replied, "It absolutely could have been."

But many Republicans aren't buying it.

"The billionaire donors I hear are livid," one GOP operative told The Huffington Post. "There is some holy hell to pay. Karl Rove has a lot of explaining to do … I don't know how you tell your donors that we spent $390 million and got nothing."

Even the blustery billionaire Donald Trump went after Rove on Twitter on Wednesday, writing, "Congrats to @KarlRove on blowing $400 million this cycle."

Good cop, bad cop.

The middle class that voted so strongly for Mr. Obama four years ago is being squeezed. To describe their plight, I expect the next four years to see the spread of a fresh vocabulary to describe what is happening: debt deflation and neofeudalism, while the classic terms rentier and oligarchy may become popular once again.

But neither party will use these words. Only a third party can do that. Right now its potential members are called “Independents.” A new title is needed for a new pro-labor, anti-militarist coalition that would restore the spirit o0f true reform, progressive taxation and the rule of law (that is, throw financial crooks in jail). The problem the economy faces is how to revive wages and consumer demand, and to write down personal debts, not government debt. Mr. Obama has joined with the Republicans in perverting the vocabulary to pretend that government is the problem, not his campaign contributors on Wall Street.

Weder Romney noch Obama haben auch nur eine Stimme verdient.

Beide sind Spieler eines einzigen Spiels: Wall Street hat die Macht und will sie behalten. Indem man den "good cop" Obama wählt, ist dieses Ziel schon erreicht.
