people agree with me that there's a million dollars we could spend a lot better than that way. megyn: but steve, the stakes are extremely high, because tom delay did this in texas, this was like his rise to fame, did he not, steve? he basically said let's take control of the state legislature so we can redraw the state line, redirect nine number of seats in the u.s. congress and it came to fruition and went to the supreme court later. >> i think that's exactly right, and it's why it's so important for the respected parties to be able to have this kind of control, to have this kind of power, and as i say, this is a long-term plan. rather than spend a couple hundred thousand dollars on, say, a congressional race, a u.s. congressional race, u.s. house race, a donor wa lot of money is much better spending that money on one of these races that erica mentions where you'll get more bang for your buck. $150,000 may seem like a lot to a lot of people but in the vast world of political campaign finance it really isn't that much money and you can get far more bang
