Many Big Donors to Democrats Cut Support
The article suggests a kind of contribution "fatigue" among liberal donors, but I think they probably just don't want to waste their money on what they presume to be a lost cause. Maybe they are saving their money for 2012? It's interesting that at the begining of the electoral cycle, it was the Republicans that were scrambling for cash. In any event, record amounts of money are being spent this campaign season fueled in part by "Super PACs." Some estimates predict, "$3 billion in total spending on political and issue ads."
