Phillips, now head of Americans for Prosperity, set up an Abramoff front group in Virginia called The Faith and Family Alliance. Cox is now Virginia gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell's campaign manager.
Read what even the conservative bloggers are saying about these guys and The Faith and Family Alliance.
The funny thing is that in spite of the ugliness this group fostered, its main players continue to show up so often, and with such prominence, in Republican, and even national, circles -- often with no questions asked.
That is unacceptable. And if nothing else happens during this election cycle, more light will be shed on what people like Cox and Phillips knew about the group's workings, its corrupt ties to Abramoff and, ultimately, their links to and knowledge of the anti-Cantor mailer.
One would think Bob McDonnell would have asked those questions. Several years ago. Obviously, the line of inquiry was either perfunctory or nonexistent.
I'm sure the Democrats won't be as circumspect.
