In a rare encroachment into a Democratic primary, the conservative Club for Growth is airing a television ad that attacks Florida Senate candidate Patrick Murphy for supporting the Export-Import Bank and praises potential rival Alan Grayson for opposing the credit agency for American businesses, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The ad is part of a $1 million advertising campaign by the Club for Growth, a free-market group that casts Ex-Im spending as corporate welfare and is best known for attacking centrist Republicans.

(19,537 posts)Chris Chocola used to be president. Perhaps they didn't like him losing twice to Donelly in Indiana. First when he lost his congressional seat to him, and later as president of Club for Growth, pouring in tons of money into that loser Mourdock's campaign against Donelly in the Senate.
I wonder if David McIntosh will do more changes from supporting just fringe right wing candidates that was done before.
I remember this leadership change happening, as I used to live next door to Chocola when he was a kid and I was in high school.
