"A GOP Flip-Flop on Ads"

Here is my L.A. Times oped on the Republican attack on the left-leaning 527s.


"Recount Lawyers Plan for Supreme Court Test"

See this story out of Indiana.


"Newcomers Provide Fuel for Bush Money Machine"

The New York Times offers this report. An excerpt: "About 455 people have raised at least $100,000 each for Mr. Bush — they are assigned a tracking number so the campaign can keep count — and many more have collected smaller amounts. Among the president's fund-raisers are chief executives at Verizon Communications, FedEx Corporation, Pfizer Inc., Waste Management Inc. and other large companies."


"Democrats Fall Off Campaign Finance Reform Wagon"

Philip Gailey writes this oped in the St. Petersburg Times. It begins: "Well, what do you know. Soft money is back, and it's making hypocrites of all those Democrats who fervently championed the McCain-Feingold campaign reform law, not to mention those Republicans who objected to the law's restrictions on issue advocacy."


"Loophole May Let GOP Spend Bush Cash in Fall"

The Chicago Tribune offers this very important report.
