Kind slips past Kapanke to retain seat

Kind slips past Kapanke to retain seat: "Kapanke said it was easier to lose on a night when his party regained control of the U.S. House as well as both chambers of the state legislature.
“It was never about me,” he said. “The country’s in better hands. The state is in better hands.”"

"Outside interest groups targeted the largely agricultural district with an unprecedented level of spending — almost exclusively on the right — bankrolling attacks on Kind."

According to http://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?cycle=2010&id=WI03 Kind received over $1,000,000 in PAC money (compared to $55,000 for Kapanke) -- that doesn't count "soft money" but it sounds like Kind got a lot of money from "Outside interest groups".
