Walker looks to be in line to get the Koch's $889,000,000.00. That could change everything.

One thing that would be interesting would be a Sanders vs. Walker election, one candidate with an essentially bottomless war chest provided by a couple of billionaires vs. a candidate who refuses all superpac support. Whom would the people choose? Would they be suckered in by the billion dollar circus or would they reject it for what it is and support a "people's candidate"?
