Amanda Paulson, The Christian Science Monitor: "Karl Rove, the veteran GOP strategist who helped put George W. Bush in the White House, is looking to become a big player in Election 2010, helping to fund Republican candidates thought to have a chance of unseating Democrats. According to some, he's operating outside of the rulebook. Tuesday, two groups conceived of by Mr. Rove and Ed Gillespie, another Republican strategist and former Republican National Committee chairman, announced a huge $4.2 million ad buy in eight contested Senate races, Politico reported. To date, the two groups - American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS - have spent about $18 million on campaigns, most of it on ads."

Kevin Zeese, Truthout: "Concentrated corporate power is corrupting the first post-Citizens United election, but citizens are responding. Six thousand people wrote Congress as part of our American Crossroads Watch campaign, demanding an investigation of Rove's American Crossroads, which is raising tens of millions in secret corporate donations to support big business candidates.... Corporate control of elections affects every issue with which the dysfunctional government is unable to deal."

Lee Fang, Republic Report: ''The latest anti-Obama ad, which blames Obama for rising gas prices, is being financed in part by a hedge fund manager who has pumped up the price of oil through excessive speculation. Karl Rove s attack ad network just launched the first nationwide ad against Obama. The ad, called 'Too Much,' is being aired by Crossroads GPS, a nonprofit controlled by Rove that does not have to disclose a single donor.''
