The 2010 midterm election could prove to be the most expensive ever, and candidates are spreading some of that wealth amongst themselves. Candidates contribute to each other via their principle campaign committees as well as leadership PACs, which are political action committees that politicians form to help their fellow politicians get elected. By the numbers, Republicans have been the top team players this cycle--three of the top four candidate contributors are high-profile members of the GOP. Click here to find out more!
Members of Congress make contributions to each other for the obvious purpose of promoting their fellow party members. But powerful politicians also use their leadership PAC money to spread their influence or demonstrate party leadership.
The top 10 givers this cycle are affiliates of a veritable who’s-who of bipartisan Hill leadership, yet one unofficial leader tops the list: Sen. Jim DeMint. Demint has contributed over $750,000 more than any other candidate this cycle via his campaign committee and two leadership PACs, and has made a name for himself this cycle as a major benefactor of conservative candidates not supported by the party establishment. In addition to the $2.5 million in contributions made by one of his leadership PACs, the Senate Conservatives Fund, the PAC has also spent on other candidates in the form of independent expenditures--communications like advertisements and mailings.

fyi
DeMint/Palin, which ever way, I believe would be Americas best bet.
Waiting for the “only Sarah” crowd to show up.
He is one of the few who DARE to “whisper” Sarahs name.
Better yet. DeMint for Senate MAJORITY LEADER.
Please hold your breath while waiting.
LOL! Thanks, guys...Have a great day!
That actually would work for me. According to the article, he's given roughly twice what Pelosi doled out and almost 4 times over what McConnell gave.
That’s because Demint puts his money where his mouth is.
After November, the Tea Party will have plenty of time to find and vet some great primary challengers for the RINO’s up for election in 2012.
Thumbs up to Demint for leading the charge!

That'll work 'til 2012!!
Draft him damn it if he won't run........
You'll have a very long wait. Like a life time. I can "read"!
SENATOR DEMINT IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!
That being said, in spite of you, I think DeMint is awesome. He's a great senator, and would likely make a great senate majority leader if given a chance.
Find any "only Sarah" people yet?
Didn't think so.......
Yep, Palin/DeMint in 2012!
It is not too late to donate to his “Take American Back” website. Here it is: https://senateconservatives.com/takeamericaback
I just gave another $100.00.
My position is that there are very few, if any, politicians who are actually one-in-a-million type of people in terms of intelligence/competence.So I don't get excited at the possibility that the nominee will not be the very most competent individual in the party, let alone in the country. All I ask is that we have adequate representation. Democrats are no representation at all.
To me the issue is that we don't renominate John McCain, or anything like that. And IMHO if we organize behind Palin we will have someone of adequate competence and intelligence. If we don't, we are only too likely to see someone who has no business presuming to represent us. It happens more often than not.
DRAFT PALIN.
I have to agree with you on that!
