There is no plan here at all. It is all tactics of the moment.
But sometimes the best strategy is to let your enemy hang himself, which is exactly what CFR is doing to the Dems. The great thing about the 527 loophole is that a lie has to be told a million times but the truth only told once to be effective. We have a classic example of that: one $150,000 ad vs. $60 million. And the $150,000 ad wins.
