I'm thinking the $2300 donation limit is going to kill Republicans in November.

Methinks Republicans are going to rue the day the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform passed with some Republican support, as it is going to end up biting them in the ass hard.

Once the Republicans see Obama racking up hundreds of dollars (and up to the legal limit) each from 1.5 million (and possibly more) individual donors, they will collectively crap their pants, and have nobody else to blame but their own candidate!

(I just wanted to add this happy note to the discussion today) :)

1. PACs. They'll try to find a way around it.

2. hey...don't the repukes have LARGE families...

spread that $2300 around through each kid and all....

"...crank up the trust funds, honey, and get the kids to write some checks...we gotta donate to johnny so he'll beat that black muslim unpatriotic democrat..."

3. They are going to have ZERO problems.

Between PAC's and loopholes, they'll be fine.

4. But Democrats will have PACs to match... so won't Obama still be ahead? n/t

5. Oh, don't get me wrong.

Obama's fundraising machine is a new kind of weapon. The Republicans are afraid of it, believe me.

But, AFAIK, there is no limit one can donate to 527's and whatnot. They will get their attack ads. It's going to get nasty.

6. Repigs Don't Need to Raise Money. They Get Most of their Airtime FOR FREE

Consider it a 10 billion dollar gift from their friends at the MSM.

7. Now you know why W has left the FEC empty

No one to enforce the rules = there are no rules
