from what I understand, the reason Feingold lost, was because Johnson outspent him something like 10 to 1, mostly from the 8-9 million he donated to his own campaign. This is mostly from seeing reddit headlines, so that may very well be bs.
- _delirium 16y agoHmm, the numbers I can find show somewhat more even spending, so I'm not sure that's the reason. Ballpark estimates I'm seeing thrown around are something like $20m spent by the Feingold campaign, $17m spent by the Johnson campaign directly, and another $5m spent by anti-Feingold third parties. Maybe the 10-1 figure is for outside money? It does seem that almost all the third-party, from-outside-Wisconsin groups doing ad buys in the election were doing anti-Feingold ad buys.
