Democrats are gearing up to romance big money donors "with parties featuring live music, open bars, and mingling with ‘senior Democratic policy leaders,’" Politico reports.
Struggling to line the pockets of their fledgling Super PACs, Democrats will launch a major fundraising push during their national convention in Charlotte.
Politico reports:
Democrats hope the events will lead to a massive cash infusion for three super PACs that have struggled to pull in the big checks necessary to compete with GOP outside advertising juggernauts like the Karl Rove-conceived Crossroads outfits and the Koch brothers-linked Americans for Prosperity.
But the plan isn’t perfect. The Democratic National Convention is just two months before the general election—too late to spend any money raised there on ads, some Democrats worry. Plus, conventions do not typically lend themselves to the type of one-on-one meetings where mega donors usually sign six- and seven-figure checks.
