Enough of the LIE about the DNC not helping in WI.

[NorthCarolina]

24. Here's what I have seen

From the DNC perspective, they have made investments well in excess of the $500,000 that was requested and have made other contributions — man hours and the use of various Obama for America voters lists — that make clear how big a priority recalling Walker is for them.

DNC allies note that with such a tiny portion of the electorate genuinely undecided, the work they are doing to identify and turnout pro-Barrett (or anti-Walker) votes is invaluable to increasing the party’s chances of winning on June 5.

The view from Wisconsin is that while the amount of money being spent by the DNC looks impressive, it is dedicated almost entirely to helping President Obama win the Badger State in the fall, not to helping beat Walker in a few weeks time.

And with Walker — and the various Republican campaign entities — spending heavily on television, there is some level of panic about the inability of the Barrett campaign to come anywhere close to matching those GOP interests.

Of the funds given since November, $250,000 has been directed to the state Democratic Party. Not sure how much Walkers team has in it's coffers, but the DNC has apparently invested roughly $250k towards his defeat.

The DNC has directed $1.4 million to Wisconsin so far in the 2012 cycle with $800,000 of that coming since November, according to figures provided to the Fix. Nearly a quarter million of those dollars have been directed to the state party.

Not sure where your "nearly 2 million" figure comes from, unless it is from rounding 1.4 mil to 2 mil. It is your statement that the two million spent to date (I'll give you the benefit of the rounding) is committed to defeating Walker? Or, is it that 250k of that total amount has been given to the Walker recall effort, with the rest going towards Obama reelection efforts in WI that is closer to reality?
