They want to keep those crooked Republicans in office!!

From PoliticalMoneyLine:

Top political action committees and top lobbyists have been writing bigger than normal checks to benefit the campaigns of various Republican Senators who have formed a joint fundraising committee, the 2007 Senator’s Classic Committee. Some PACs have written checks for $23,000 and a top Washington lobbyist has a written check for $9,600.

The committee reported raising $776,150 and spending $483,131 in the second quarter, leaving cash on hand of $293,019. The committee gave $402,500 to federal candidates.

Large donors included Bryce Harlow (whose occupation/employer was shown as “information requested”) $9,600; J. David Hoppe of Quinn Gillespie $7,500; Hazen Marshall of the Nickles Group $7,500; Employees of Northrop Grumman Corp PAC $23,000; Exxon Mobil Corp. PAC $21,500; Koch PAC $15,000; NSSGA ROCKPAC $22,500; ConocoPhillips Spirit PAC $15,000; American Dental PAC $15,000; Automotive Free Int-l Trade Pac $15,000; Dean Foods Co PAC $15,000; Foundation Coal PAC $15,000; UTC PAC $15,000; and $7,500 from 57 other PACs; among others.

The second quarter report shows promotional supplies bought from the Belle Haven Golf Shop in June, but no golf course green fees. The committee paid $53,375 to the E.M. Rahal Company of Washington, D.C. for fundraising consulting. Edward Rahal was the former finance director at the National Republican Senatorial Committee and a former lobbyist for the American Continental Group. Rahal referred questions about the Classic to the office of Senator John Warner.
