So THAT's why there were no by Republican 527's this year!

Remember all of those right-wing 527s that were going overwhelm the political landscape? As it happens, the conservative financiers have lost a lot of money lately.

"After the [GOP] convention, things looked good," said Phil Musser, a Republican fundraising consultant. "Major donors interested in issue advocacy were tuned in, political juices were flowing, polling looked good, and then, blammo! Most donors lost 20 or 30 percent of their net worth in eight days. With few exceptions, that pretty well shut down the money discussion for a lot of folks."
Four years ago, groups operating outside the party structure invested more than $130 million in television commercials, often carrying the kind of negative messages that the candidates themselves wished to avoid. This year, total spending by such groups is at about $17 million so far, with no single organization playing a dominant role, according to Evan Tracey of the Campaign Media Analysis Group.

The schadenfreude of this is just freaking priceless. People, they smeared the hell out of Kerry to make sure they could get the give-business-anything-they-wanted-Repubs in power. And the money poured in...until it didn't. And now they are out of money that would have normally been used to smear the hell out of Democrats again while allowing their candidate to pretend to stay above the fray. Which is why McCain and Palin themselves are carrying that load. And unfortunately for them, its backfiring.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!
