Cantor PAC donates to Kilroy, Hanabusa opponents

GOP House Whip Cong. Eric Cantor isn't just planning personal attacks anymore. Now, he's helping his GOP buddies bring in cash that could go to more large-scale attacks on the campaign front.
Cantor, who organized some of the most outrageous antics we've seen on the House floor, is now doling out money to GOP 2010 candidates. Two of Cantor's chosen recipients are in races involving EMILY's List candidates, Colleen Hanabusa and Ohio Cong. Mary Jo Kilroy.
Hanabusa, in Hawaii's first congressional district, is running to fill the open seat being vacated by Democratic Cong. Neil Abercrombie. Cantor's ERIC (Every Republican Is Crucial) PAC gave $2,500 to Charles Djou, a Honolulu city councilman aiming to put the seat in the Republican column.
And in Ohio's 15th district, the ERIC PAC gave $2,500 to Kilroy challenger Steve Stivers, who's looking for a rematch after losing in 2008. Kilroy's already faced down a Cantor attack on the floor of the House, and we have no doubt she can overcome any Cantor gifts to Stivers to win re-election. But this is a powerful reminder to us that Republicans are gearing up for 2010 -- and we don't have a minute to waste to help our candidates build their war chests.
