CNN commentator Paul Begala will be moonlighting as one of the leaders of a group of Democrats preparing a $40 million media campaign to bash John McCain.
The Politico newspaper reports Begala and former conservative journalist David Brock presented their strategy at a dinner Tuesday night in the Manhattan apartment of liberal billionaire George Soros. Begala and Brock call their group "progressive media USA." It is replacing other groups that had failed to raise the money needed for the anti-McCain effort.
Brock says he and Begala need to do the work of a press corps that ? in his words ? "has fallen down on the job" because it is "in love with John McCain."
