U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent more than $3.2 million against Boxer, plans another $1.25 million

U.S. Chamber about to drop another $1.25 million in TV ads against Barbara Boxer?

We hear that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- which has emerged as a big-time player in the midterm elections -- is about to drop at least $1.25 million in negative TV ads next week against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer next week.

<...>

That's bad news for Boxer, who has already absorbed $3.2 million in Chamber TV ad pummeling. You can check out the chamber's first -- and possibly future -- ad here. The C.O.C. has endorsed Republican Carly Fiorina as the "pro-business" candidate in the race.

Sunlight Foundation:

Barbara Boxer:
Independent expenditures in support: $107,716.21
Independent expenditures in opposition: $405,275.20
Electioneering communications: $3,245,203.00 *

Carly Fiorina:
Independent expenditures in support: $553,823.54
Independent expenditures in opposition: $123,441.47

Electioneering = U.S. Chamber of Commerce

The Chamber's PAC raised $160,661 this election cycle. Yet the Chamber spent more than $3.2 million against Barbara Boxer. The additional $1.25 million will bring the Chamber's spending to nearly $4.5 million in secret donations against Boxer.

1. Last poll I saw had Boxer up. That's an avalanche of funds to combat though. Stay strong Boxer!!

3. The Chamber desperately

wants to get one of the biggest corporate tools around (Fiorina) into the Senate.

4. Yep. Her ads are awful. Here's hoping Boxer holds strong in her lead and Fiorina and Whitless both

continue pouring money into a lost cause.

Why someone would unrec this is beyond me.

2. I wouldn't worry people are getting what this Chamber Of Commerce is up to

the Democrats have been hammering about the outside money

5. Democrats need to keep hammering

People don't get points that aren't hammered home. They lose interest. The facts are on our side. The Chamber, Murdoch, Rove and the media know this, which is why as Rachel Maddow put it, they want the "punching to stop."

Frankly, some Democrats appear to be afraid of this issue or are disinterested. For all the calls for Democrats to go after the right, here is the perfect opportunity to expose the RW, and it has been met with a lot of skepticism and attempts to talk it down as irrelevant.

I'm loving it.

6. I Wonder Are These Ads Made in India or

The Kingdom of Bahrain?

The US Chamber of Outsourcing can't be paying American's to do this - it would cost too much.

7. I wonder what their Butcher's Bill is against Feingold?

The Corporatists want him gone!! They've
got their puppet in a super-white, dim-wiited, podunk Ron Johnson.
