Now that the donor amount shifts towards the Left, the moral outrage lessens. As usual, it's OK as long as it benefits the Left. If it shifts back the other way you will see calls for reform in the donation laws.

Goody, they are just the opposite of the last two elections. That must mean the Democrats will win this time.
