Tony Massaro, executive vice president for political affairs at the League of Conservation Voters, said his group relied on its 501c(4) status because it could push directly for the election of specific candidates right up to Election Day, since the group takes no union or corporate money. Were it a 527, the advertisements would have to skirt that issue and strike a fuzzier theme of urging voters to contact candidates about their positions on divisive issues, a gimmick that Mr. Massaro said comported with the law but left the public cold. Mr. Massaro, who said his organization would spend $3 million to $5 million and was already working on behalf of Democratic Senate candidates in Florida, Pennsylvania and Washington said that voters get frustrated by that game.
