Stand by Your Ad--A New Problem

Bard Smith and Center for Competitive Politics point to a problem with McCain-Feingold, which I admittedly had no real opinion on, but could impact an election in Colorado.

Interestingly, Smith ends with a pretty good summation of my view on campaign finance matters:
The idea that government can or ought to shape election speech, and can or ought to equalize the assets and liabilities that different candidates bring to a race, is contrary to the very idea of voter choice in a free electorate. Let the candidates campaign, and let the voters decide.
