    - I was reading that donations to GOP candidates in the Senate are not where people expected for a Senate that could be in play. - Mel Profit Nov 22, 09:16 1
      - In reading Game Change, something that shines through is that Romney's Boston team was showered with money. - David Nov 22, 09:22
