Which political action committee gave the most money to congressional campaigns in 2006? It was ActBlue!
ActBlue - the web-based bundler - was the single biggest PAC contributor in the last cycle. It delivered some $17 million to candidates in 2006, with about $15.5 million going directly to congressional campaigns. It's proving to have an even bigger presence in the presidential election, and the organization's founders are predicting that they will move $100 million dollars during the 2008 cycle.
One group that definitely comes up short is ABC PAC - the GOP ActBlue counterpart. So far, all total, they've raised just $385 for the Republican presidential candidates, and obviously none of the campaigns use the PAC for their online fundraising like John Edwards does with ActBlue.Check out the Georgia section to see who's raising and who isn't. There are a few surprises there.
