Theodore Schleifer reports:
For months, Republicans salivated and Democrats cowered at a giant G.O.P. spending advantage in almost every marquee race in the midterms. 
And then in an instant, on one evening, it no longer mattered. 
Much is made during campaigns about fund-raising totals and spending plans. This year, it’s not clear that the money did much good. 
The much-vaunted Republican war chest crashed into a tsunami of grass-roots momentum as the votes were tallied, raising serious questions — yet again — about the true power of money in national politics. [emphasis added]
