OK, if he wants to get rid of his money ...

But we already saw how much his spending helped President Mitt Romney.

Money only helps to some extent.

It'll probably help more in Senate races than it would in the presidential race, due to the saturation point and diminishing returns.

It's disgusting how much money these rich people put into trying to buy elections.

Well, the $79 million the Munger siblings spent against California's Prop. 30 was certainly a good argument for passing Prop. 30 to raise taxes on the rich.

Adelson will end up spending more than he'll ever save in tax breaks in a hypothetical GOP controlled Washington, if he hasn't already.

Yes, please, tell the Georgia electorate that a billionaire Jew is bankrolling the Republican Senate candidate. God knows we probably will.
