David Brock's Third-Party Group Reconstitutes As Anti-McCain Research Outfit
By Greg Sargent - July 9, 2008, 4:02PM


I've just confirmed that Progessive Media U.S.A. -- the independent group that was formed to great fanfare by David Brock to bludgeon McCain with ad spending before Obama put the kibosh on such outside expenditures -- has now officially reconstituted itself as a new group devoted to researching and tracking John McCain.

The newly formed group, called ProgressiveAccountability.org, reflects the efforts of such outside groups to adapt to the new landscape Obama has created in Democratic presidential politics -- one in which outside Dem ad spending has been effectively snuffed in service of centralizing the Democratic message through the Obama campaign.

The new group -- a joint project of John Podesta's Center for American Progress Action Fund and Brock's Media Matters Action Network -- will have approximately 20 paid staffers and is headed by Tara McGuinness, formerly connected with MoveOn.org. It won't spend any money on ads, but will devote significant resources on digging into McCain's record and policy proposals.

The group also has on-staff trackers that will film McCain at every public event and post the footage on the group's Web site.
