NRCC promos fundraiser for Dem
By Nancy Watzman Jun 10 2009 4:55 p.m. 2 commentsOver at Party Time we're reporting how the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) accidentally sent out a list of fundraising events that included a June 11 breakfast for Rep. Gary Peters (D-MI) and featuring "special guest" Rep. John Dingell (D-MI).
Whoops! That may have been taking bipartisanship a bit far, especially since the NRCC is targeting Peters right now for going overboard with government spending.
Minutes after sending that list out, the NRCC sent out a new list: "Please disregard previous Calendar of Events. See attached." Mention of the Peters fundraiser had disappeared.

How is such a snafu even possible? I guess these are just names on a list for the person on the Fundraising Calendar assembly line....
That's an interesting question. I wonder where the NRCC gets its list from -- one idea I had was that the fundraising consultants might send them in, and maybe there are a few that work for both parties? Not sure -- probably something I should follow up on.
