Today's New York Times has an article about the creation of Freedom Watch, a conservative organization that essentially has been created as a response to the prominence of MoveOn.org. It's a pretty recent group, and its got some extremely wealthy benefactors. Recently it has been throwing ad money around like MoveOn about Bush's troop increases. In a lot ways it seems that this group is attempting to reinforce Bush policy, although clearly it has its own agenda. My question is what will happen to either of these groups if a Democrat takes the presidency as is often predicted these days. MoveOn has made a name for itself angrily denouncing Bush Policy, while Freedom Watch seems to be making its name supporting it. Will either of them fizzle out if a Democrat control the white house? I can't see MoveOn fading into the shadows since it seems to have a lot of beefs with "mainstream" democrats, but Freedom Watch I don't really know.
