Yes, there's a lot more going on. It is called grassroots politics and it is working in this case.
If they want to do it go for it. But I am just again pointing out that we are not really talking about poor ole underfundered Jacob here. Also it needs to get out in the open that these groups are backing Jacob. Thats free speech too.
Again, you're trying to portray poor incumbent Chris Cannon, supported by the NRCC and the President of the United States, as the victim. But you can get "out in the open" the groups backing both sides. It is all out in the open if you can figure out how to move your mouse pointer and click the the little button things on various websites which contain the campaign finance databases. How do you think that it was known what Team America PAC has put into this race? There is no conspiracy here, just delusion on your part.
Its not quite that simple. For instance many groups with many other names hire tons of political groups and consultants to come and bring their folks in during the last weeks of these races. It generally take after the election when looking at the reports to sort it all out. Furthermore there is political activity going on I expect by other groups that is right on the line. These groups because of their nature are not required to disclose.
I realize there is alot of grass root stuff going on. That why tonight is so important. If Jacob wins I view it as a setback . But If Cannon wins it cannot be denyed that this is a victory for Bush and those that reject the views of Fair, Numbers, CIS etc.
