[Vision2020] Someone's worried

[Mark Solomon]

This from Betsy Russell of the Spokesman-Review. Another reason I'm 
glad I don't have a TV or a land-line phone. Howard Rich, the NYC 
real estate mogul behind Prop 2 (he's funded 99.7% of the $812,000 
reported so far) is also the state action chair and money behind the 
Club for Growth funding Bill Sali's campaign. See below.

Halloween was a banner day for scary surprises in the independent 
political expenditure arena. According to FEC filings, the 
Washington, D.C.-based Club for Growth spent another $259,599 on Oct. 
31 alone for more TV attack ads against Democratic congressional 
candidate Larry Grant in Idaho. They weren't the only ones - the 
National Republic Congressional Committee reported spending $139,788 
the same day for its own "issue ad placement" against Grant, along 
with $11,230 a day earlier for more "robocall" phone banks calling 
Idahoans with anti-Grant messages.

That's not all - the Republican Governors Association reported to the 
Idaho Secretary of State's office that it spent $62,300 on Halloween 
for a TV ad attacking Democratic candidate for governor Jerry Brady, 
following up on the $172,980 the GOP governors group spent Oct. 27 
against Brady.
