Follow the money.
And for the republican candidate in the 2012 Secretary of State race the sources weren’t particularly grassrootsie.
The distribution of contributions to Shane Schoeller’s (r) campaign as indicated to the Missouri Ethics Commission in his 30 Day After General Election-11/6/2012 report [pdf] filed on December 6, 2012. The report covers the period from October 26, 2012 through December 1, 2012.
That’s well over a half a million dollars in contributions in the week before the election, the vast majority from a single entity:
