Shady Ayotte Allies Behind Factually-Challenged Attack on Hassan
Senator Kelly Ayotte is battling trouble on multiple fronts, from her awkward attempts to distance herself from onetime ally Frank Guinta to her experiment in legislation to cover up her anti women's health record and getting busted in a lie about a campaign film crew at a taxpayer-funded event. Now, she's turning to a pair of shady old allies to try and rough up Governor Maggie Hassan with misleading claims about her record. Read more about Ayotte's ties to this shady special interest group in the Bridge Project's Conservative Transparency database:
Impact America Action is a shadowy right-wing organization that first popped up in the 2014 Nebraska gubernatorial election. In that election, the group ran $200,000 in ads against then-candidate Pete Ricketts “for once supporting a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants during his 2006 U.S. Senate race” despite Ricketts’ reversal on that position in 2014, according to the Omaha World-Herald.
Virtually no information is available about the organization, and IAA’s website provides little more than a boilerplate endorsement of “pro-growth solutions.”
AP: Rubio's real estate dealings often a drag on his finances
There's at least one compliment Marco Rubio won't be getting during his campaign: financially savvy. Rubio's financial dealings have been subject to scrutiny lately -- there aren't just skeletons hidden in the closets of his foreclosed house with David Rivera, there are new questions being raised daily. Fueled by his political aspirations, Rubio has been making one "financial mistake" after another, despite earning $4.5 million since his first year in the Florida legislature. This is causing many to ask: if he can't manage his personal budget -- once he became wealthy -- how on earth will he be able to handle America's? From the AP:
Factor in some questionable moves with money and a hefty load of student loans, and it's clear that the Republican presidential candidate's real estate dealings often have been a drag on his finances despite an income most would relish.

The Truth: McCrory Can't be Trusted
The Charlotte Observer editorial board has it right: North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory isn't just spinning the truth or misleading voters, he's flat out lying. McCrory has repeatedly broken his unequivocal promise from his 2012 campaign not to sign any new restrictions on a woman's right to choose and is now set to betray the women of North Carolina again. Earlier this week, the governor announced he will sign a new law tripling abortion waiting periods and putting new mandates on clinicians to share the results of ultrasounds with state government agencies.
