TAPPED is shocked that the new minority leader has some not so great ties to special interest money. How exactly does TAPPED think she got to be minority whip? Was anyone paying attention to the dual PAC set-up she had?
I like TAPPED a lot, but this is a bit silly to think she got to where she is because she was smart and liberal. Those are true, but it is also true she is a shrewd money raiser who distributes those funds strategically. The manner in which parties are currently organized almost guarantee that someone who is good at raising money does better. Notice Marci Kaptur didn’t get far.
