More fundraising peculiarities

[sandnsea]

A couple minutes ago I clicked on a thread about a DNC matching fund campaign where regular people contribute and then challenge others. In part "You've probably gotten a message from an organization saying that some anonymous, wealthy donor will match your donation" - and the DNC is trying something new.

I click on another DCCC thread - they're challenging everybody to contribute to them and offering 3-1 matches by members of the House. Hmmm, there's those wealthy donor matches.

Yesterday I ran across an article where Rahm and Howard had negotiated $12 million - $10 million to GOTV and $2.5 directly to House campaigns.

Then today we get these two competing 'donor match' campaigns. Does this seem a bit suspicious to anybody else?

Rahm, Schumer, Carville - this looks like an attempt to take the party completely, from the DNC to Kerry. Primaries? Elections?? Pssht, who needs it when you can frontload the entire thing with your own people.

If I'm right, the fight is now. At least to get the truth out.

1. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

They've already frontloaded the primary process. :(
