Swift boaters are back

The 8th Congressional District might get a real treat this fall on TV. They might get to see some nasty ads done up by those that did the so-called Swift Boat Veterans For Truth ads in 2004. The guy that put up the money for that lovely piece of work has just dumped $5 million into a new 527 group for the elections this fall.

Steve Kagen might be on the receiving end of this money since holding onto the 8th Congressional District is an important part of the Republican plan to keep the House of Representatives under their control.
