Is this calling the kettle black or what?
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) signaled concern about the prospect of GOP-aligned 527 groups pouring money into contested races, according to a memo he wrote to House Democrats today.The memo was sent to the Democratic Caucus after the party lost two special elections in heavily-Republican districts in Ohio and Virginia. The DCCC spent $244,000 on negative advertising in the Ohio special election, in a district that President Bush carried in 2004 with 61 percent of the vote.
~~~According to Van Hollen, one of several factors that helped Republicans in Ohio was the third-party money spent by Freedom’s Watch, a conservative organization headed by former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. The group spent in the six-figures on an anti-Weirauch attack ad accusing her of supporting “free healthcare for illegal aliens.”
