When I was writing my Slate piece on disclosure, I looked in vain for a website to link to of “American Crossroads,” the new Republican-oriented 527 being advised by Karl Rove. So I linked to their IRS 527 filing instead.

According to information leaked to the press, so far the under the radar method has been successful: “So far, the new soft-money group, American Crossroads, has received commitments of almost $30 million and is seeking to raise a total of some $60 million to help dozens of Senate and House incumbents and challengers this fall, say three sources familiar with the new 527. “
