What I'm reading today

THE NEW POLITICAL MONEY GAME - Despite limits, big donations to independent groups keep cost of running for governor high, San Francisco Chronicle

Cap contributions, you get more independent expenditures. I would say "duh," but this blog attempts to highten the level of intelligent debate... except for that Capital Caucus thing. We're just a bunch of talentless hacks.

I think public participation in campaigns is a critical thing, but note that one person's "public interest group" is another's "special interest."

The GOP and Campaign Finance Reform, Bob Bauer's More Soft Money Hard Law blog

This is really a great read... isn't it interesting that the party of Ronald Reagan... the foe of government regulation... is the one spearheading the latest round of the most massive regulation of political speech? Food for thought.
