Money Doesn't Matter
It apprears that there is a group backing Obama that intends to scare the big money away from McCain's campaign. Nearly 10,000 of the biggest donors to Republican candidates and causes across the country will probably receive a foreboding "warning" letter in the mail next week.Is it likely to work? ...Ed Patru, a spokesman for Freedom's Watch, scoffed at Mr. Matzzie's plan.So it is liable to backfire. Just what I would expect. Americans are not easy to intimidate. We are the descendants of outlaws, misfits, and revolutionaries. People not easily pushed around. There are operatives in the Obama campaign who believe money matters. Democrats say that Mr Obama needs to accomplish two critical things on his return next week. First, he must put on a good event to announce the selection of his running mate. Second, his speech at the party convention in Denver must be exceptional.And yet I remember Obama out spending Hillary 3 to 1 and 4 to 1 in some of the primary campaigns and despite that Hillary came out with wins. The Obama campaign is not factoring in the Internet 2.0 where money is not a significant factor and people with small change (heh) can get on YouTube or other video services and create ads that millions will watch, post to blogs, and e-mail to their friends. Heck Paris Hilton even did an add that the Republicans piggy backed on. And none of this counts as campaign donations. The guys worrying about money in this campaign are fighting the wrong war. The key in this campaign is internet time. Speed of response. The French had a bigger Army than the Germans at the start of WW2. How did the Germans beat the French? They beat them with speed, blitzkrieg. Lightning war. Here are some links to anti-Obama videos produced by independents. Leave Barak Alone As you can see money doesn't mean much this election season. The important issues for the campaigns this season are interest and time. Obama took the early lead, but McCain is coming back strong with the efforts of his campaign and the efforts of people not connected with any campaign. And what is the first rule for advertising? You can only sell to those interested in buying. From what I can see the electorate is not buying Obama. If that is the case it does not matter how much selling he does. == London American has been collecting these videos and many of the links were gotten from his site. There are loads more there. No Quarter also has a nice selection of videos. H/T Instapundit and Instapundit Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 08.09.08 at 10:19 AM |

Seems like these letters are a form of intimidation, if not extortion.
Could they be seen as violations of the RICO act?
Using RICO statutes, couldn't they go after people higher up in the organization and bring Soros himself up on charges?
It would be a waste of taxpayer money to do so, but it would be an amusing and fitting waste of taxpayer money.
