National Popular Vote by Tom Golisano
watch skeptically. presidential voting for electoral votes is by state--winner take all. changing to "congressional districts" which have been gerrymandered would have had a President Romney.
Missouri house is for the most part for this sort of election. gopers
some in Illinois for this as well. amazing gopers as well

Hedge funder Jim Simons in mid-October donated $1.5 million to Priorities (bringing his tally to $5 million) and $500,000 to House Majority PAC ($1.5 million total). And Houston attorney Steve Mostyn gave $1 million to Priorities, bringing the total given by him and his wife to more than $4 million.

The Democratic super PACs also got major support from labor unions.
While Priorities was outspent on ads $65 million to $144 million by Restore Our Future, the pro-Obama group has boasted of using its cash more effectively by airing early ads that sought to brand Romney as a heartless corporate raider – a strategy that mirrored the Obama campaign’s.
Obama’s campaign had urged its small donors to dig deep by issuing dire – and inaccurate, it turns out – predictions that it would be outspent by both super PACs and Romney’s campaign, and wouldn’t reach the $1 billion threshold. The idea that the campaign would raise that much was “bulls**t,” campaign manager Jim Messina asserted in a video message asking supporters for “contributions of three dollars or five dollars or whatever you can do to help us expand the map, to put more people on the ground, to build a real grass-roots campaign that is going to be the difference between winning and losing.”

Grand old grifters rebuked--revenge?

Dick Armey’s story is particularly mixed up. Politico’s account at first makes Armey seem like a whistleblower, a man of conscience standing up to Matt Kibbe, who he alleges bilked the group to get a book deal. But if Kibbe is to be believed – and I admit that’s a crap shoot — he only got paid $50,000 personally for a book it’s clear other FreedomWorks staff helped with; for objecting to Kibbe’s deal, Armey walks away with an $8 million golden parachute. Talk about wingnut welfare. Who’s bilking who?
(Armey also demanded that FreedomWorks remove his name, image, or signature “from all its letters, print media, postings, web sites, videos, testimonials, endorsements, fund raising materials, and social media, including but not limited to Facebook and Twitter”; and deliver his official congressional portrait to his home in Texas. What a regular guy.)
Rove’s situation at Fox is more genuinely humiliating, but chances are it’s a showy temporary ritual to protect Roger Ailes. Rove raised at least $300 million in the last election cycle, from which he paid himself handsomely. And he still has enough money around that Crossroads GPS can run ads attacking Obama’s tough stance in facing the so-called “fiscal cliff,” distorting the president’s position. The ads close with “Call President Obama and tell him it’s time to show us a balanced plan, because every day wasted is another $4 billion we’re deeper in debt.” Fox’s move smacks of a marketing maneuver to cover Ailes’s ass than a genuine parting of the ways

one wonders how much the very sore losing billionaires had to do with this?
