Who’s going to give millions to 527s to run anti-Wright ads?

McCain has already said he won’t touch the issue, so that leaves out donations to the McCain campaign or the Republican party being used for such attacks. McCain’s support comes from moderates and independents, who by definition don’t care enough about politics to donate appreciable sums or form 527s. Monetary and other support from conservatives will be problematic at best. And some blue collar white Democrats may vote for McCain, but their union dues will be used to promote Obama whether they like it or not. From where are the millions of dollars going to come in order to run commercials all year long of Wright’s hate speech?

Meanwhile, Dem 527s have announced that they’ve set aside upwards of $350 million,IIRC, for attacks on McCain.

Good question. I would hope the liberal or "moderate" wing of the GOP would be doing it. If they don't, or if McCain thinks he can take his "high road" to victory, he is crazier than I thought.
