Dem's Attacks Energize People to Donate

As I suggested in earlier entries, the unfounded attacks levied by a desperate Democratic party against conservatives only served to further fire up the Republican base. When I said it, I meant that I believed it would generate more votes, but apparently, it's also translating into major donations to conservative groups and GOP campaigns.

The American Crossroads group, which has ties to Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie, has raised over $13 million since being attacked by the White House for allegedly using foreign money. The baseless attacks have only led to a rain of contributions, which allowed the group to escalate it's fundraising goals. They now say they will be able to spend an additional $10 million in House races, and $5 million more in Senate races.

Similarly, two Tea Party candidates who have weathered an onslaught of Democratic attacks have received historical amounts of campaign contributions for their November races. Yesterday, Sharron Angle reported that she received $14M since entering the race in July. Another favorite whipping post, Michelle Bachmann, has raised $5.4M in the past quarter for her reelection bid for the House in Minnesota.

All this good news makes me hopeful that the Democrats unleash Alan Grayson on all the GOP candidates in the next month.
