I agree with the effect of money on elections. However. If it gets to a certain level of egregiousness, action should be taken, such as took place with what's his name, the exterminator from Sugarland. Since she certainly doesn't seem any less disliked than he was, the fact that nothing has been filed makes me wonder about the whispering campaign. I am not prepared to go to bat for her as I don't know the specifics, but cynicism says that sure, she may have done something shady. It also says that hmm, don't ya think people would have gotten formal if they could? The cliche is that you can indict a ham sandwich, but nobody has tried. So cynicism's last thought on the subject is that it's easier to throw mud than to make a case.
