T. Boone Says No 527 Dollars This Year

Texas oilman and Oklahoma State University benefactor T. Boone Pickens, who gave $3 million to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and who numerous Republican sources said was being looked to as a 527 funding source this year, is sitting the race out.

“He is not giving anything to 527s involved in the presidential race this cycle, and has communicated that…to Republican strategists and operatives,” said Pickens spokesman Jay Rosser.

The comment came in an article posted on The Politico at http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11220.html.
