I wouldn't say the money spent on the campaign was for naught.
Despite losing the headline act, it still wasn't the shellacking the Dems received in 2010. Republicans still kept the house, didn't give up the filibuster in the Senate, and picked up a couple gubernatorial seats. Several of those wins were riding on the coattails of the Romney campaign.
Don't worry, if the Republicants mess up the fiscal cliff, and screw 98% of the country, the next election cycle they would wish they were only getting shellacked, and not but******d...
Just imagine the crocodile tears then
