The Republican Party’s best-connected political operatives have quietly built a massive fundraising, organizing and advertising machine based on the model assembled by Democrats early in the decade, and with the same ambitious goal — to recapture Congress and the White House.
The new groups could give Republicans and their allies a powerful campaign apparatus separate from the Republican National Committee. Karl Rove, political architect of the Bush presidency, and Ed Gillespie, former Republican Party chairman, are the most prominent forces behind what is, in effect, a network of five overlapping groups, three of which were started in the past few months.
The operating assumption of Rove, Gillespie and the other organizers is that despite the historical dominance of Republican fundraising and organizing, the GOP has been outmaneuvered by Democrats and their allies in recent years, and it is time to strike back.

Me no want!
Well he better start gettin it right about immigration
GO AWAY, FAT RINO!
As long as enforcement first on the border isn’t mentioned?
It is imperitive to get the House back in American control in November. Then let the investigations and un-american activity hearings begin. Including the Payola News media for fraud.
Take it back on behalf of who?
If he is backing conservative candidates, then he’s a hero. If he is going to cut conservatives off at the knees and shove “bi-partisan” faux-Repubs into office, whats the point?
Call me skeptical. If they decide to fund people like Crist and Scozzafava, then their only result will be doom.
We need Conservative, not Republican principles.
I blame him for losing it in the first place.
I agree. He, Bush and the rest lost the congress in the first place.
just the mention of his name again will have heads exploding over at the HuffPo
Rove is a smart guy and a great money raiser, but he doesn’t know which end is up.
What did he do with all that cash and influence the last time? Put Arnold and Arlen and Lincoln and Crist and about twenty other RINOs into power?
Bush and Rove had it all after the great 2004 election victory. And they threw it away.
Modeled after the Democrats, indeed.
He’s back! To rescue big government, from anything that may threaten it.
The phone bank operators must get tired of hearing from those of us contributing directly to only true conservatives.....
US rouge warrior tea party types will take over given the GOP has been impotent and we are carrying the heavy lifting.
We don't need a king maker, we don't need the blue bloods, let um bolt or stay home.
In fact, I smell a machine that Romney can use, and this is a checkmate to Sarah.
I say screw-um, let us do it our way, you guys mucked it up enough...

If the “organization” is the same group of democrat-Lite douchebag idiots that lapped up Bush’s globalist fruitcakery, the idea of them raising massive amounts of money to “take back the country” is a farce. Conservatives are out-fundraising the likes of McCain-Grahamnesty GOPers by 3-1.
you pick.
