Follow the money...

The LA Times is reporting that major funding for the Republican's "Steal the State" Initiative came from Giuliani backer and advisor Paul Singer. What does it say that Giuliani backers think the rules need to be changed so that their guy can win?

This week Giuliani also stopped in California to pick up former CA Governor Pete Wilson's endorsement, while skipping out on an important PBS Debate to address issues in the African-American community. Obviously, Giuliani must be taking minority outreach pointers from Wilson. DNC Press Secretary Stacie Paxton said in a DNC release:

"When it comes to divisive leadership, Rudy Giuliani and Pete Wilson are two peas in a pod. Giuliani just doesn't get that Americans are looking for a president who will bring people together, not tear them apart. Rudy can try to hide, but the American people know the truth: a vote for him is a vote for four more years of the divisiveness they've endured with President Bush."

US Term Limits Backed Group Not Ok in Oklahoma

In yet another humilating defeat, the US Term Limits backed Yes on Term Limits, Inc. was told in effect that out-of-state henchmen couldn't do New York City resident Howie Rich's bidding and impose term limits on a few statewide constitutional officers.
 
Even after suffering the same fate in Montana a few years earlier, out-of-state idealogues once again attempted to break state election laws to advance their cause.
 
While term limits groups feign grassroots-style activism, if you follow the money trail it inevitably always leads back to the same small group of people and one person in particular, Howard Rich.
 
Howie is one of the lucky few that makes gushers of money off of Manhattan real estate so he can impose his views on direct democracy states, plus has an entire web site devoted to outing his devious political money-schemes.
