The Republicans’ ChutzPAC
NYTimes.com:
"The PAC founders blithely and cynically contend that the restriction really only applies to how funds are spent, not how they are solicited. This means that once a donor has given a candidate the maximum $5,000 allowed under law, the candidate could ask for thousands more to be donated to an “independent” Super PAC that everyone knows to be an aggressively partisan election weapon.
This hearkens to the million-dollar donations harvested by the Nixon campaign. The scheme should be shunned and denounced by lawmakers and candidates in both parties. Unfortunately, Democratic fund-raisers say that if the inept Federal Election Commission allows the Super PAC to go forward, they will join the new arms race."
