According to the Politico, Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), has been endorsed for reelection by Boeing--not by Boeing's PAC, but by the corporation.
“Sen. Murray has been a true advocate and champion for the Boeing Co. and for our 75,000 Washington-based employees throughout her three terms, and therefore we support her in her reelection bid,” said company spokesman Doug Kennett, reading a statement.
Murray is in a reasonably tough reelection race against Dino Rossi, the GOP nominee for Governor in 2004 and 2008, so I suppose I should be pleased that she is getting this endorsement, but this really bugs me; I just don't think corporations should be supporting--or opposing--political candidates.
This represents a very bad precedent, and is just the start of what the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision has brought us.
