Karl Rove's been pretty busy

Pacquiao -- You get a lot of emails from us about how much money the Romney campaign and outside groups are spending to defeat President Obama this November. But that crush of spending isn't just happening in the presidential race -- it's happening in races up and down the ticket, all across the country: -- Outside groups, including Karl Rove's, have already dumped nearly $11 million into negative ads in Virginia to try to beat Governor Tim Kaine in that state's Senate contest -- outspending Governor Kaine's campaign by a two-to-one margin. -- In Ohio, those same groups have spent $17 million trying to bury Senator Sherrod Brown with negative ads -- outspending his campaign by a four-to-one margin. -- And in Florida, one donor has pledged $5 million to Rove's group to defeat Senator Bill Nelson. Politics has never seen this kind of spending, and when individual donors are dropping $5 million in a state race, we don't know what kind of impact it'll have. Here's what we do know: We need to win races up and down the ticket if we're going to protect the progress we've made, and continue fighting for the middle class. That's why we're going all out to help Democrats in tight races across the country fight back against the crush of outside spending.

Thanks, Jeffrey Jeffrey Lerner Political Director Democratic National Committee P.S. -- The sooner you chip in, the more of an impact your donation will have.
