15. She should have asked him where his group got over one million dollars in

just a few months, and why they are refusing to reveal the identities of their donors?

If they are non-partisan, then that could be determined by taking a look at who is funding them.

She should also have asked him if by inserting himself so deeply in politics their tax exempt status is legitimate.

The question about 'how do you know the leaks are coming from the administration' should have been followed up also, he gave a very weak response to that, claiming the reason he knows is that they are 'coming from someone with a high level of information'. Well, that would include Senators and members of Congress who are presumably on Committees that receive classified information. So how does he know, without a crystal ball, that the leaks are not coming from Republicans?

The only thing he was challenged on was whether their claim to non-partisanship is valid.

The Dems are going to have to do a better job of going after these people. They are receiving an awful lot of funding for a group that just sprang up out of nowhere in June, conveniently just in time to funnel money to them for anit-Obama ads. He should be questioned relentlessly about the funding, put him on the defensive. He was not on the defensive in that interview, imo.
