The White House's attacks on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce hit a few road bumps over the weekend. The New York Times reported that the Chamber isn't doing anything unusual with how it collects its dues - no different than labor organizations that frequently back Democratic candidates. On CBS's "Face The Nation," Bob Schieffer pointedly asked White House advisor David Axelrod, "is that the best you can do?" <br /><br />Obama toned down the attacks a little bit at his Philadelphia rally yesterday. The fact that the White House is focused on an inside-baseball campaign finance issue, instead of the economy shows how bad the political environment is for Democrats this year. http://nyti.ms/cBwtfi<br /><br />DCCC Gets In On The Act: Democrats, however, aren't backing down. The DCCC is launching a "significant" online ad campaign on Monday targeting conservative third party groups. The two web ads, obtained by Hotline On Call, read: "Don't Let Them Buy Congress, Stand Up And Fight Back" and "Shady GOP Front Groups, Foreign Corporations, Big Insurance, Wall Street Tycoons." It's unclear how effective a campaign tactic this will be, but it is sure to help Democrats raise money.alan markushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376679777650939602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673461.post-51350186930240965522010-10-09T09:56:41.334-05:002010-10-09T09:56:41.334-05:00McCain-Feingold only constrained the honest, and s...McCain-Feingold only constrained the honest, and set up easy work arounds.<br /><br />McCain-Feingold allowed George Soros to buy elections for his puppets, who in turn allowed him to extract great wealth from America. <br /><br />McCain & Feingold were "usefull idiots" at best.
