While Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie questioned the legality of pledges from wealthy donors like George Soros and Peter Lewis who advocate the defeat of President Bush, Republican groups will use those high numbers to galvanize their own soft money base.
Gillespie told reporters in a conference call yesterday that he was unaware of any Republican groups that are “prepared to spend 360 to 420 million dollars
to defeat a candidate for federal election.”
