Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity claimed this morning that it does not endorse candidates:
Is this a joke? MT @NicholsUprising: Koch group on MI Romney event: "AFP does not support or oppose candidates for public office."

Uh huh. This must be why, earlier in the week, David Koch
said Americans for Prosperity was "helping" Gov. Scott Walker in the upcoming Wisconsin recall elections:
Asked about his efforts to sway public opinion, [David] Koch acknowledges his group is hard at work in places such as Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott Walker is facing off with public unions and grappling with a likely recall vote.
"We're helping him, as we should. We've gotten pretty good at this over the years," he says. "We've spent a lot of money in Wisconsin. We're going to spend more."
Incidentally, today is the one year anniversary of Scott Walker
spending 20 minutes on the phone with a prank caller that Walker thought was David Koch.
