Big-time Dem political wheelers and dealers are so worried about the organization level, or whatever, of the Obama-Biden campaign that they’re urging big-time Dem check-cutting wheelers and dealers to avoid Barack Obama’s firmly stated stance on the matter and start sending money to 527s and similar groups.
Schadenfreude? I love some of the posters to the TPM blog linked here, who insist Obama is running a “new type of campaign” and other people “don’t understand.”
Wrong on both counts.
First, Obama, as compared to John Kerry, by percentage of donors, let alone dinero amounts, is not getting a lot more money from small donors.
Second, as far as Obama scolding donors away from 527s, that’s not “a new type of campaign.” Per Scholars and Rogues, he’s been running the campaign of a control freak for some time now.
