Wednesday, I blogged about the launch of Liberty.com, which will officially go live Sept. 1. David Catanese reports at Politico:

A new conservative group created to harness the energy of the tea party into a national financial force has set a lofty goal for itself: match or eclipse the influence of MoveOn.org in campaigns across the country.
Liberty.com plans to launch its independent expenditure political committee Sept. 1, with the intention of becoming an all-encompassing conservative grass-roots organization that weighs in on federal and state political races and issue-oriented movements.
Launching under the umbrella of the group Americans for New Leadership, Liberty.com will be led by tea party organizer Eric Odom and begin its venture with $700,000 and 70,000 members, according to a spokesman. Odom previously built conservative coalitions under the American Liberty Alliance and The Patriot Caucus.
“We’re looking to compete directly with MoveOn.org. We’re looking to be a player for a long time. No one else on the right is doing what we’re doing,” said Liberty.com spokesman Yates Walker, who remains a consultant on Christine O’Donnell’s U.S. Senate campaign in Delaware. . . .

You can read the rest of that. Eric, Yates and Steve Foley hosted a Blog Talk Radio program about it:

    Is such a central concept misguided? It seems to me that the Tea Party movement has been more successful in pushing Liberty related issues as each come up (dontgo, etc…).

    I’d be concerned about anything that Eric Odom is behind. Read what Erick Erickson has to say about the man:
