Citizen Group Encourages Investigation into Constantine Campaign Finance Situation

A group calling themselves Citizens for Fair Reporting held a rally outside the Seattle Times yesterday, encouraging the paper to seek another Pulitzer by digging deeper into the Dow Constantine "treasurergate."

1. Oh, and lemme guess: ACORN was pulling the strings the whole time?

This is obviously an attempt to generate a story where none exists with a pathetic attempt at a astroturf protest.

2. That's pathetic -- were there even 10 people there? (not counting bemused bystanders...)

The irony of a Republican dirty tricks operative wearing a Nixon mask was especially delicious.

3. Is Citizens for Fair Reporting a registered 527? Where did they get the money to fund a campaign against Constantine? Who donated materials/office space?

4. I could get used to this protesting thing - get a little exercise in the middle of the day - expose blatant hypocrisy and soft money corruption. Good times! Next time I'm bringing a drum...

6. Tpn, since you probably know, why was Dow's campaign paying $10,000 to a campaign consulting partnership that ceased to exist 7 1/2 months earlier? MNP Partners, Moxie media (the sub-let locked in a closet) in Christian Sindermans Northwest Passages consulting office. Was Dow's campaign a deadbeat, no pay?
