Christian Leftist

Despite the fact that he served in the Clinton administration as Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich is endorsing Barack Obama. This is according to CNN, where Wolf Blitzer interviewed the ex-editor of the leftist weekly magazine The Nation.

Apparently, the tipping point came last week, when Reich saw the obnoxious ads with people complaining about Obama’s ‘”bitter” comment that have played here in Pennsylvania.

So far, according to CNN, Hillary has lost a net 2 delegates since February 5th, while Barack has gained 77 in the same time period. She still leads him with her 251 to his 228.

Man, I knew those FreedomWatch ads were horrible, creepy little packs of lies, but I didn’t think that GOP members would see a need to script them personally. Can’t the crazies even write their own propaganda anymore?

The Washington Post is reporting that Democratic Party officials are going to file charges with the Federal Election Commission (note: they also intended to do this against McCain for using public money and then turning the rest of it back to avoid spending caps in the fall). See here:
Democrats Accuse GOP Campaign Arm Of Covertly Writing Ad

The issue here is not that Political Action Committees can’t support party causes, be they the Democratic National Campaign Committee, the Republican National Campaign Committee, or whoever else they so choose, or PACs wouldn’t exist. As DCCC Executive Director Brian Wolff puts it, “Freedom’s Watch is coming to the NRCC’s rescue. The problem is that they’re doing it illegally.”
