It says that when you run a race, you don't take anything for granted (ask Duke Bainum who was out celebrating his 'victory' the night before the 2004 election) and you better be all in. The fact that Djou didn't pay for polling means he wasn't serious about winning, and everyone that did give him money ought to be pissed. It is no surprise that the person who ran hardest won, that is usually how life works.
