OMG, Newt is mixing it up with a former Virginia Democrat Party Chairman!!!
Go Newt!
Sounds like this group is a PAC that supports Newt, meaning they are not officially associated with Newt and CANNOT be in contact with him or his campaign.
This is the rules for all PACs and candidates and political parties. Also, the PAC can continue to raise money and run issue ads after a given candidate might not be viable any more.
