There was a lot of unreported spending on both sides. You are now adding in monies “reportedly” spent and “you got to figure”.

If we are trying only to eliminate the 9 to 1 ratio, we can take what we do know (that Barrett is known to have $18 million spent on his behalf) and what anyone is estimating on the high end could have been spent by both sides you can’t justify the 9 to 1 ratio. We will never know the exact number in the end, but it can’t be 8-to-1 (or 9-to-1, 10-to-1).

Now I Have tried to be reasonable and civil about this. I could characterise your 8-to-1 (or 9-to-1, 10-to-1) claims as lying, as dishonest, or worse. After all you have been characterising my estimates in that way, calling me all kinds of names, and that is completely unwarranted.

We had a political disagreement in a thread. You want to carry it forward and bring it up until I start agreeing with you?

Disagreeing with you is not dishonest, it is not lying, and it certainly is not being a dumbass.
