George Soros is back in the game of funding local races for district attorney

(Snip) In the 2016 campaign, Soros created local, independent expenditure committees or political action committees which allowed him to bypass the individual contribution limits on giving to a candidate's own committee. Soros was then able to spend unlimited amounts on mailers and television ads on behalf of the candidate, provided there was no coordination between the Soros-created PAC and the candidate.

(Snip) One of the DAs who survived the Soros assault was Pete Weir in Jefferson County, Colorado. Weir told the Washington Examiner that the Soros strategy included having the new district attorney use their prosecutorial discretion to unwind years of hard-won consensus that came out of state legislatures writing criminal justice law.

"He is trying to identify candidates that will follow Soros' view of social justice and [his] political agenda. And he does this by bypassing the legislative process," Weir said.

Freedom Line BLOG: 2012 the Year of the Senate?

CFIF FREEDOM LINE, 4/9/2011 by Ashton Ellis: The (British) Guardian promotes an interesting theory about the 2012 electoral cycle: maybe Republicans should focus more on winning the Senate than the presidency. Here’s the rationale:

And here’s more potential bad news: in 2014, another 20 Senate Democrats are up for re-election, compared to just 14 Republicans. That means over two successive election cycles, 43 Democrats – 80% of those currently in office – must defend their Senate seats, compared to just 24 Republicans. Could the GOP end up with a 60-vote super-majority of its own, just two years before laying siege to the White House in a post Obama contest? Read more at Freedom Line...

Karl Rove updates 2010 Senate races

KARL ROVE'S NOTES (fb), 5/26/2010 - "New polls in the wake of last week's primaries have led to a slew of changes on the Senate map. Pennsylvania moves from leaning Republican to a toss-up after new polls show Sestak (D) closing on Toomey (R), and despite a primary battle between Sen. Bennet (D) and Romanoff (D), Colorado also moves from lean GOP to toss-up. California shifts from toss-up to lean Democratic as new polls show Sen. Boxer (D) ahead of her prospective Republican opponents. But Washington becomes a bright spot for Republicans as new polls show the entry of Rossi (R) to the race against Sen. Murray (D) shifts the state from leaning Democratic to a toss-up."
