Three easy steps:
- First, create a Super-PAC for the 2014 election cycle. In this case, “Put Alaska First PAC.”
- Second, infuse that Super-PAC with Beltway insider money: “Nearly all of [Put Alaska First PAC] funds have come from the national Democratic group, Senate Majority PAC, and most of that money has been paid to a Democratic media buying firm created to work with Senate Majority PAC and other national super PACs” (note that the link there is from noted right-wing mouthpiece The Huffington Post).
- Third and last, count on the Associated Press to report your sock puppet as being a local group!
