Go to the link above to check out details of state by state info on the 527-s and their activities in 2004-2006 elections. (at the bottom of the article under "More information")
Another article mentions that Soros gave $23M to 527-s in 2004, to defeat President Bush.
"Many 527 donors argue they're just exercising First Amendment rights to voice opinions. Wigglesworth contends their money drowns out other voices: "As long as George Soros and Roland Arnall can spend so much of their money on getting someone elected, the rest of the country is deprived of the right of elected public servants that are going to represent them."
Soros, a New York City billionaire financier, gave more than $23 million to 527s opposing President Bush's 2004 re-election. "

Thanks, Senator McCain, for the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance reform. You are electoral politics' Sorcerer's Apprentice. You have completely robbed Republicans of their inherent advantage in campaign fundraising: thousands of concerned citizens with disposable income. And your "reform" has allowed rich fat cats such as Georges Soros and Clooney to have an inordinate influence on politics in this country through 527 corporations. Satisfied? I'll bet you are.

They always raise a lot of money. They always hurt themselves by using it to "get out" their message. They always do. This always causes them to lose because voters don't like their message. They then always claim "we didn't get our message out". Then they always work harder and put together more money for the next cycle. Which they always lose and claim it was because they didn't get their message out and then ...............
