The Coming Republican Tide (Of Money)

Will groups who are supportive of the Republican party massively outspend Democratic affiliates in the 2010 election? Here is a scary-looking chart that says yes. Here is a scary-sounding quote to go along with the chart: “If they hold true to their pledges, these ten groups are posed to flood the zone with more than $200 million in election-focused spending — roughly $37 million more than every single independent group spent on the 2008 presidential campaign combined. Only, this time around, almost every single penny will be going to Republican candidates or causes.”
