[EL] Frontiers of SuperPAC coordination?

[JBoppjr at aol.com]

Lurker Ben, interesting question and my view is -  no problem. A 
coordinated expenditure has two elements -- content of the ad and  conduct of the 
candidate and spender. If a spender uses a candidate's campaign  material, it 
meets the content requirement.  But the opposite does not.  Thus, if the 
allied superPAC's material is in the public domain, then  anyone can use it, 
including the candidate.  Jim Bopp

Happy Thanksgiving all. I'm de-lurking in the hopes that somebody had an  
opinion on what I think is a novel situation: Rick Perry's campaign is openly 
 using footage shot and used by an allied SuperPAC in a campaign ad. Is 
that  allowed?
