The Democratic National Committee is gearing up its efforts of spreading money throughout the party infrastructure, a party official tells us, transferring its first $2 million to various party arms as part of its $50 million Vote 2010 plan.
The next FEC report will show the following transfers in June: $666,666 to the DSCC, $666,666 to the DCCC, $333,333 to the Ohio Democratic Party, and $333,333 to the Florida Democratic Party. These sort of numbers could potentially drive Sarah Palin and Iron Maiden fans mad.
The overall Vote 2010 plan will involve $20 million in cash to the DSCC, DCCC and state gubernatorial races, plus another $30 million in direct spending by the party.
