If you look at who has advised Romney over the years on campaign finance,
and listen again to the Morning Joe interview, you have to know Romney
means that the soft-money ban on party committees and restrictions on
campaign committees are the problems in campaign finance. And if I'm
reading his take correctly, he's right: the soft money ban should be
lifted, and contribution limits to candidates increased.
A lot of good people have done a lot of good work to bring forth the Super
PAC (if I do say so myself) -- which is to say, have partially restored the
First Amendment. Of the dozens who've spent years working on it, I don't
know a one who would keep the party committee soft-money ban.
Romney's "Get rid of these SuperPACs," which actually was "*and* get rid of
these SuperPACs," has to be understood in context. The big cycles of
McCain-Feingold were 2006 ... and 2008. Who thinks this is lost on Romney?
Romney must also understands that, as the soft money ban and low limit to
campaign committees remains, it will only be SuperPACs that can save him
from a media megaphone going all all-out to tout his opponent, directly or
impliedly. Indeed, those who doubt this should watch Romney presenting
Letterman's (writers') Top Ten list. The host could barely let his guest
finish the bit without taking the liberty of making editorial comments
surely no one expected from the writers.
Happy Holidays all,
Steve Hoersting

> Tom Donnelly has posted this draft<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1935376>on SSRN (
> *University of Cincinnati Law Review*). Here is the abstract:
>
> Candidate venture capital contributions are large donations given to
> candidates near the beginning of campaigns in order to provide them with
> sufficient resources to test their ideas in the campaign marketplace. These
> contributions can take the form of either large private donations or public
> grants. Although election law scholars and political scientists disagree a
> great deal over the aggregate effects of money in politics (and the utility
> of various reform proposals), they generally agree that early money is
> particularly valuable to political newcomers — especially when challenging
> incumbents. While both campaign finance reformers and anti-reformers often
> pay lip service to the value of early campaign cash, both sides usually
> offer prescriptions that deal with campaign contributions in an
> undifferentiated manner. This Article offers a different approach, focusing
> exclusively on how our campaign finance system might be altered to promote
> the value of early campaign cash in its own right. Rather than seeking
> undifferentiated contribution limits (like the typical reformer) or the
> complete deregulation of private contributions (like the typical
> anti-reformer), this Article suggests that policymakers might instead
> tailor campaign finance regulations to reflect the changing value of
> campaign cash over the course of the typical election cycle. Central to
> such an approach is a campaign finance system that increases the overall
> flow of candidate venture capital. In the end, this Article is an attempt
> to place the element of time at the center of the debate over campaign
> finance.
