And Silicon Valley may find that Silicon Valley is not as politically monolithic as it thinks it is. I'm sure there are plenty of closeted conservatives in the Valley who would love to get paid to further the message.

And there are bound to be some who are politically agnostic/independent, as well as those who identify as liberal but, for the right price, would do the work. Actually, I can't believe that <i>all</i> the conservatives in Silicon Valley are closeted.

(Shrug) If Himmler could find people in Germany who were willing to guard the gates of concentration camps, then Karl Rove can find people in Silicon Valley who will be willing to do his relatively innocuous bidding.<p>You can pay people to do pretty much anything, it turns out. One of life's little secrets.

It'll be interesting to see if the Republicans can hire high-quality talent required in sufficient numbers from as deep a pool.<p>Meanwhile, though, the capabilities of third parties will fall even further behind those of the increasingly entrenched duopoly.
