I think a better approach to strictly auditing a candidate's spending is to 
 more strictly limit eligibility for funds and then let them spend the 
money  however they want. The current approach discourages candidates from 
taking  public funding -- not a bad result in my view, but surely an unintended  
one.  Jim Bopp
