"Democrats went on the attack Thursday against Mitt Romney’s elaborate system of state political-action committees, arguing in a complaint that the Republican candidate has exploited weak campaign-finance laws to improperly fund his presidential aspirations.
Campaign-finance experts on both sides of the aisle, however, said it is not clear that Democrats have much of a legal case.
A complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission by New Hampshire and Alabama Democrats alleges that Romney used PACs in those states as “shell operations” to fund a de facto presidential operation before declaring his candidacy. The Democrats also point to an Alabama news report alleging that the activities have continued in violation of federal law."
