Daughter Of Rich GOPer Funding Ayers Ad Is An Obama Supporter


By Greg Sargent and Eric Kleefeld - August 26, 2008, 4:04PM

Fun fact: It turns out that the daughter of the wealthy GOP Texas oilman funding the Ayers-Obama Swift-Boating ads is a financial backer of Barack Obama.

Serena Connelly -- the daughter of billionaire Harold Simmons, the sole person bankrolling the ad campaign tying Obama to the former Weatherman -- is a prolific Democratic donor.

She $2,300 to Obama, maxing out for the primaries, in two installments in April and May of 2007, according to OpenSecrets.org. She also gave a total of $3,750 to Hillary on various dates throughout 2007.

More on this from AccountableAmerica, that new outfit being run by former MoveOn chief Tom Mattzie.
