Ruth Marcus has an excellent op-ed in the Washington Post. She writes about fliers that turned up in mailboxes in Massachusett's 5th Congressional District the weekend before the special congressional election there, attacking the Republican challenger Jim Ogonowski. They were sent by a group named "Democracy Still Works." She makes some great points in the article, and all of us who have concerns about 527's and other attack organizations should read what she says.
The Politico is reporting that the Federal Elections Commission has fined a group called America Coming Together (ACT) $775,000 for using unregulated cash to help Democrat candidates during the 2004 elections. It is the third largest enforcement penalty.
DNC Chair Howard Dean had warned the Florida Democratic party that if they changed their primary to January 29 they would likely forfeit all their delegation votes in selecting a presidential nominee. Elected officials in Florida are threatening legal action. It will be interesting to see how this is resolved.
