Interesting story re Romney Super PAC and the coordination issue.

I agree with Trevor on the narrowness of the anti-coordination requirement,
but I have always been perplexed by whether a candidate can ask an
independent group not to run an ad. Trevor says ok. Jim

NPR listeners voted online on _constitutional amendments_

-ratify-four-new-amendments?ft=1&f=1014&sc=tw) they would prefer (or not–
an interesting list). What did they want? “As of Dec. 20, you’ve voted to
abolish the Electoral College, to limit campaign contributions from
corporations, to deny corporations the rights of citizens and to prohibit members
of Congress from lobbying once they leave office. In our un-scientific
sampling, ‘ratification’ required the support of two-thirds of voters. (You
can still add your vote _here_
(http://www.npr.org/2011/12/14/143648941/interactive-join-our-constitutional-convention) .)”
I would love to have FOX News readers vote on the same polling questions.

_’94 Quote from Romney on Money in Politics Makes Him Sound Like Radical
Reformer_ (http://electionlawblog.org/?p=26820)
Posted on _December 20, 2011 10:15 am_
(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=26820) by _Rick Hasen_ (http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3)
_Romney channeling_ (http://electionlawblog.org/?p=26805) his finest Fred
Wertheimer: “But these kinds of associations between money and politics in
my view are wrong. And for that reason I would like to have campaign
spending limits. And to say we are not going to spend more than this in certain
campaigns, in a campaign for Senator or U.S. Representative and so forth
because otherwise I think you have money playing far too important a role. I
also would abolish PACs. You probably have one. I don’t like them. I don’
t like the influence of money whether it is business, labor, or any other
group– I do not like them.”
