I've had sour opinions about Tom Daschle before, but it is great to see him out there getting back in the fight.
As reported today in the Boston Globe:
Senate Majority Project is to formally launch today, with Daschle and other Democrats looking to bring in more than $2 million to collect and disseminate political information critical of all GOP senators, not just the handful of vulnerable incumbents whom Democrats have targeted this year. The project is the first concerted attempt by Democrats to create a permanent opposition-research arm focusing on all Republicans.
This is exactly what we need. Putting our foundations in place so that our candidates can fight on a level field with the well organized VRWC.
"It [is] time to stop playing defense all the time and start holding every Republican accountable for what they do in Washington," Daschle wrote in a fund-raising letter to prospective donors last month.
This is the only way we're going to win, by matching thier 24/7 campaign and giving our candidates and electeds the ammo they need to fight the Republicans.
