The anti-Burke ads have already started...

They are from some group I've never heard of, most likely a Koch front group.

1. Yup, being bombarded with them......

ugh......reminds me of the Ron Johnson barrage of ads to overthrow Russ Feingold.....although that onslaught didn't start in earnest until May....so these ads are earlier then those. Makes me sick.

2. Yeah the Backwards Burke ads have been going for at least a month on youtube. The money

these fuckers bring to the table is striking. I don't like it but it seems Mary Burke is the only other option. With that as the case, she needs to get her ass out there and make some news by offering some progressive ideas and showing how they would be better than status quo.

3. Some information abou the group running the ads...

Right Direction Wisconsin PAC is a creation of the DC-based Republican Governors Association, a corporate-funded organization that spent $132 million to elect GOP governors in 2010. But you wouldn't know that from Right Direction Wisconsin's website, HigherTaxesFewerJobs.com, which is devoted to attacking Tom Barrett. The group's mailers also make no mention of the RGA.

Two different town clerks who received Right Direction Wisconsin/RGA mailers fired off angry emails accusing McCabe, the watchdog, of running the front group. Because the PAC is so little known, one of the few Google hits for the group is McCabe's profile of Right Direction Wisconsin in his "Hijacking Recall 2012" database.
