I don't think the "Santa Obama" 527 attack ad is the one Obama is angry about

[Herman Munster]

That one was done by Democratic Courage PAC.

The one Obama is talking about is done by Nick Baldick and Alliance for a New America. I tried to google and couldn't find a website for them.

But it will start airing the day after Christmas and has a $750,000 ad buy. I don't know what the ad buy on Democratic Courage's Obama ad is but for their attack ad on Hillary it was a trivial amount - $2,500.

1. Thanks for clearing that up. nt

2. It sounds like both Hillary and Edwards have 527's working for them. nt

Politico's Ben Smith tallied up the totals as of Thursday night and found three groups (AFSCME, AFT and Emily's List) agitating on Clinton's behalf for a total of more than $1,8 million; and two groups (the Carpenters union, and SEIU) working on Edwards's behalf for a total of almost $1.3 million.

3. Doesn't anybody want to help poor victim Obama?

4. Paging Robert Gibbs!

Yes, Obama is SUCH a victim -- which is why he hired the guy who ran the 527 ad comparing Howard Dean to Osama bin Laden.
