Big labor had tremendous return on its investment in 2012 elections, Karl Rove and establishment GOP had little or nothing to show-Sunlight Foundation

12/18/12, "Outside spenders' return on investment," Sunlight Foundation Reporting Group, Lindsay Young

"Election Day 2012 produced some big winners -- and some really big losers -- whose names never appeared on any ballot.  After outside groups spent more than $1.3 billion in independent expenditures to influence the outcome of the election, we now get to see just what all that money bought them -- or didn't.

Turns out some of the smart money wasn't so smart after all when it came to making political bets. This year, the pro-business GOP Crossroads fundraising combine and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce weren't as good at picking winners as the labor movement, which appears to be one of the surprise winners of Election Day."...via Mark Levin twitter
