Roundup: Chamber preps for elections
* The Chamber of Commerce is planning to spend $200 million this fall to "go after Democrats" using TV ads, mailings, and Astroturf grassroots campaigns, Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist Joel Connelly writes.
* More than 100 tea party members protested the health care overhaul outside Democrat Rep. Brian Baird's Washington state office Tuesday, the Columbian reports.
* President Obama's pledge to pass an immigration bill may have been a direct result of the upcoming rally planned by activists in favor of changing current laws, the New York Daily News writes.
* The President is expected to sell his health care plan to Fox News viewers Wednesday evening when he appears on the network, the New York Times reports. A White House spokesman said the aim of the interview is to try to sway some of the people who oppose the overhaul.
