The FEC today voted on a rule to harmonize federal law with the ruling in Wisconsin Right to Life... broadcast ads mentioning federal candidates near set times prior to elections can only be regulated, under the ruling, if there is "no reasonable interpretation other than as an appeal to vote for or against a specific candidate."
So, this leaves the door wide open for more issue ads during elections. Bob Bauer has a good post on the matter... I tend to side with his point of view on this issue.
