Yesterday, handpicked Republican candidate Dino Rossi became the first Senate candidate in the country to lead the charge in calling for a repeal of Wall Street reform. Rossi hasn’t always been so vocal about his positions, though, and it is worth looking at how Rossi went from silence to repeal in 63 days.
May 25 – Rossi enters the race for U.S. Senate but refuses to state a position on Wall Street reform.<1>
June 30 – Rossi is hosted at a Wall Street, Hedge Fund fundraiser in Manhattan.<2> FEC reports show the event benefited Rossi to the tune of almost $135,000.<3>
July 14 – Rossi states his opposition to the Wall Street reform bill.<4>
July 27 early morning – Rossi lines his campaign coffers with money from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce PAC at a fundraiser in DC.<5>
July 27 mid morning – Rossi becomes the first and only Senate candidate among extremists such as Rand Paul and Sharron Angle to call for a repeal of Wall Street reform.<6>
