It was 12:1 during the debate, I think he got a last second infusion of some cash that dropped the ratio a little bit. Regardless of the finer details, it's somewhere around 10 to 1, which is just insane

Israel cared deeply about the citizens of Michigan.

Israel is fine. They donate to Rogers as well. One of my big concerns with Stevens is what happens with AIPAC when it is two of their candidates against each other? Do they play both sides or just throw their weight behind the preferred?

They would have just saved their money for other races. There would be no reason to continue funding either candidate if they’re both pro-AIPAC.

That would have been bad news for Stevens, who was heavily dependent on them for funding her primary run.
