can any one give me a succinct justification that Rahm Emanuel's new
Super Pac will not be in coordination with the Obama campaign under
109.21?  As a former co-chair of the Obama campaign, who will be issuing
public communications supporting Obama's candidacy won't the PAC easily
satisfy both the content and conduct standards on 109.21?  Or is it
necessary under (d)(3) that the specific "communication", not the
general message have been discussed with the campaign or the candidate?
