It must be really close though.
Ryan is sitting on $10 million. If it was that close he would be spending gobs of it. WI “conservative” voters proved in the primaries they are sheep easily lead by the GOPe and talk radio. Afraid Ryan wins this one, unfortunately.
Not necessarily. If he loses, then any money from his campaign war chest that is unspent is his to keep, after he pays off any just campaign debts. Many incumbents who amassed million$$ in their war chest got to cash that out when they were defeated in re-election or when they retired. They do not have to give it back or give it away.
