The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee was the subject of similar criticism after intervening in a Texas primary,

Talking of which, we are flattered that Bob Ward — Policy and Communications Director at the Grantham
Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, erstwhile Director of Public Policy at risk insurance giants RMS and before that, Senior Manager for Policy Communication at the Royal Society — has
dropped by to give his thoughts on our observation that, if you're going to go around accusing the
opposition of corruption, you'd better be whiter than white yourself.
