Who's funding the "Ending Spending Action Fund"?
Their "Obama voters are changing their votes" banner ads appear to non-star members of DU. The banner ad shows a very concerned, slightly constipated middle aged white woman -- presumably one who is changing her vote.
Is it the Kochs? Joe Ricketts? Sheldon? Who? I think we should put that information right out on the front page, too.
On edit: It's Ricketts

WASHINGTON - A conservative political action committee is launching a $10 million campaign to sway voters who backed President Barack Obama four years ago to now support his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney.
The Ending Spending Action Fund, bankrolled by billionaire Joe Ricketts, is airing 30-second ads on national cable and television in Virginia, Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin. The ads with former Obama supporters are coupled with radio and online advertising, direct mail and door-to-door voter contact programs led by former Bush White House political director Sara Taylor Fagen.
