Look who might be supporting the Great “Centrist” Hope

My piece in Salon today is about an unexpected alliance to elect the former Obama official who’s running against Congressman Mike Honda:
Just last week I wrote about a fine fellow named Sal Russo, a GOP “operative” from California who’s been ripping off veterans for fun and profit by appealing to conservative rubes who’ll believe anything they read in an email. I also mentioned that he’s the head of a major Tea Party group called the Tea Party Express, which has also been ripping off conservative rubes who’ll believe anything they read in an email. And since one of the complaints against Russo is that his organizations are illegally sharing email lists, that means many of the poor deluded right-wingers are getting ripped off twice.
However, it’s fair to guess that no rip-off, not even one that hurts veterans, will shake these true believers from their reflexive desire to give money to con men. Well, maybe this: Sal Russo may now be in the business of helping … Democrats. Even worse, a Democrat who used to work for the Usurper Obama himself.
