Citizens United Is Not THAT Powerful

Chris Hayes today in passing noted that Citizens United didn't have much influence in Wisconsin. State law either way allowed much spending before the Dems picked their (boring) nominee. Then, a comment about millionaires and CU was noted, but only an appellate ruling (Speech Now) actually covered that. Millionaires are not "corporations." As noted elsewhere, the margin of victory was high enough that money alone probably couldn't explain it either.
