Via The Maine Race, we learn that with Sen. Collins losing ground in the latest polls, another business lobbying group is coming to her aid--with a big TV ad buy.
The organization in question actually bills itself as a small business lobby. But the National Federation of Independent Business was a "staunch supporter" of the recent Wall Street bailout.
And three of their other top issues are the repeal of the estate tax, freezing the minimum wage and privatizing Social Security.
So they seem to have a lot in common with their big business, corporate brethren. And with the anti-regulation folks that run a Republican party focused on securing the interests of billionaires.
It's hardly surprising, then, that they're supporting a stalwart ally like Susan Collins. Or that they've given Collins twelve awards.
