Jeff Wyly, campaign manager for GOP Rep. Dan Lungren's re-election in the Sacramento region of California, sent an email to supporters Friday with what he described as "very troubling news." According to Wyly, an "extreme left-wing group" has been busing people from the liberal enclaves of San Francisco and Oakland to "spread their lies to voters in our district."
The left-wing group in question is CREDO, an organization that has supported high-profile causes that some might hesitate to describe as extreme, including ending the war in Iraq and ensuring that low-income women have access to breast cancer screenings. This year, CREDO adopted a strategy from the right-wing 2010 playbook by establishing a super PAC dedicated to unseating right wing Tea Party legislators like Lungren.
The ploy that Wyly referred to -– bringing volunteers from San Francisco to Sacramento to canvass for votes -- is part of that effort, and CREDO made no attempt to hide it.
