Republican operatives attempting to compete with Democratic groups for large sums of unregulated presidential campaign funds have run into a number of roadblocks, including reluctance on the part of many corporations to contribute to new independent groups.



The Federal Election Commission last month cleared the way for liberal groups to continue raising millions of dollars of unrestricted contributions, and now GOP groups that have held back are joining in. But in a sign of the problems GOP leaders are encountering, one of the key Republican groups, Progress for America, failed in its bid to recruit James Francis Jr. to become chairman.

LOL they couldnt even get a person to chair.
Is this a major turn around?I think this says alot
about * chances at reelection.
