Progressive Super PAC Emerging as Key Tool for Soros and Other Liberal Billionaires

After being trounced in 2010, Democrats, special interest groups, and liberal billionaires have begun assembling assets to rebound in 2012. The "House Majority PAC", a Democrat Super PAC, reported this week to have raised $800,000 in the two months from its inception to June 13, including the time leading up to May’s NY-26 special election where Democrat Kathy Hochul defeated Republican Jane Corwin. House Majority PAC attack ads in the final weeks prior to the election have been speculated to have had a key role in Hochul’s victory. Politico has reported that $325,000 of the $800,000 amassed by the House Majority PAC since April came from three wealthy liberals.

"In addition to Soros’s $75,000 contribution, hedge fund billionaire Donald Sussman - a major donor who this month married Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) - gave $150,000 and Chicago media magnate Fred Eychaner, a major donor to President Barack Obama, gave $100,000."
