They have a lot more to apologize for, or make excuses to the voters. I am not surprised by this at all.

I have to wonder how much of this could be due to the Illinois primary being so much earlier than other states. No doubt that we’ll still probably top the list when the election is over, but I would think the gap will be less significant.

Never heard of it. Is that in Texas?
Also, $8.4 million in Indianapolis is like $20 million in Chicago. That’s saturation level spending.
