It’s money, but still, significant campaign contributions can be overshadowed by even larger contributions. Today Rex Sinquefield dropped a total of a million dollars between two republican statewide candidates who are running in 2016. There were other campaign contributions of note by other individuals and entities to other entities.
Previously:
Campaign Finance: making a choice (October 15, 2014)
Campaign Finance: now we know where the rest of the million dollars went (October 15, 2014)
Today, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

It’s what happens when a republican incumbent in Congress doesn’t feel the need to take her opponent seriously.
And, Senator Claire McCaskill (D) continues to contribute significant money to the Missouri Democratic Party.

That’s $490,000.00 since February, $200,000.00 in October (so far).
Governor Jay Nixon’s (D) committee has been chipping in, too.
