4. I read in the Wall Street Journal today that $6 billion was spend on the campaigns.

That included Congress and the Presidency. This included 1.5 million ads. There was about equal spending on each side. On Wednesday morning we had pretty much what we had on Tuesday morning -- a Rep House with not much change, a Dem Senate with not much change and Obama as President. I don't have a link since I read a print edition.
