read it and stop the astroturf crap
Bolling and the Rove crowd would not donate because there thug Bolling was not the bagman fir them
One way to find out would be to get a source who can nail down the number of fundraising events held by McDonnell vs Cuccinelli. I don't think it's astroturfing at all. It's actually the most plausible reason I can think of. A lot of pols don't like active fundraising, which involves essentially begging for money in person, with vague promises of political favors in the future. It's got an air of corruption about it, and some people don't have the personality for it. Straight arrows like Cuccinelli probably think of it as the moral equivalent of selling their souls in bits and pieces.
