Common Cause (along with the League Of Women Voters), have plugged Obama's new campaign commercial. They claim to be "independent watchdogs".
Hardly.
But, ask Jerry Lewis who Common Cause is and I'm sure he won't have a clue. Who knew a group that touts Obama's record as "unprecedented" would also help the campaign of an inexperienced political unknown running for a small legislative district in Arizona?
