Desperation: George Soros and big liberals preparing to pump Obama's re-election up with $100 million in cash

In case you haven't noticed, President Obama's re-election is looking unlikely. He has no accomplishments.  Race, class and gender warfare aren't selling. Voters are in a foul mood over the economy and there is a worldwide "throw the incumbent out" movement going on. I know the polls show it is close now and Obama has the mainstream media in his pocket, but Obama is under 50% and the undecided will break heavily for Romney. History has proven this to be true. You can practically smell the fear coming from Team Obama and liberals.
(New York Times) — After months on the sidelines, major liberal donors including the financier George Soros are preparing to inject up to $100 million into independent groups to aid Democrats’ chances this fall. But instead of going head to head with the conservative “super PACs” and outside groups that have flooded the presidential and Congressional campaigns with negative advertising, the donors are focusing on grass-roots organizing, voter registration and Democratic turnout.

The departure from the conservatives’ approach, which helped Republicans wrest control of the House in 2010, partly reflects liberal donors’ objections to the Supreme Court’sCitizens United decision, which paved the way for super PACs and unbridled campaign spending.

But in interviews, donors and strategists involved in the effort said they also did not believe they could match advertising spending by leading conservative groups likeAmerican Crossroads and Americans for Prosperity, and instead wanted to exploit what they see as the Democrats’ advantage in grass-roots organizing.
