Liberal Site: Withhold DSCC Donations If Schumer Votes For Mukasey
The liberal Web site Democrats.com has thought up an interesting way to sway Chuck Schumer's vote on the Mukasey nomination. The Washington Post reports that they've begun an e-mail campaign to withhold donations to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Schumer heads up, if he votes for the nomination.

He hasn't seem a dime from me since.
Better Democrats get my $

He acts like it's a lose-lose proposition, but I don't see him losing anything if he votes against. He can just say, well, I didn't know he was for waterboarding and expansive executive power when I suggested him as a good candidate.
