Pure speculation, but Ari is associated with a well financed 527 called Freedoms Watch formed at/after the RJC meetings a year ago. You might recall their pro-Patreus (Rudy also ran one) ads which ran in NYC after the Patreus/betrayus ad from move-on. Hopefully Republicans will have someone out there to address the issue if McCain considers it beneath him. We need more 527s.
Thank you for adding me to your list..
