Supreme Court Sidesteps Campaign Finance By GINA HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer
2 hours, 50 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court said Monday that a lower court should take a new look at a challenge to federal restrictions on political advertisements, delaying a major ruling on the constitutionality of ad limits until after this year's elections.

Justices could have used the case, brought by an anti-abortion group, to spell out when so-called grass-roots ads are allowed at election time.
Without dealing with that issue, the court overturned a decision that barred Wisconsin Right to Life from broadcasting ads that mentioned a senator during his 2004 re-election campaign.
In an unsigned opinion, justices said that the Supreme Court's 2003 ruling upholding a federal campaign finance law left the door open for future challenges that the law, in practice, violated free-speech rights.
"This could be an important first step toward undermining (the 2003 ruling) without overruling it," said Richard Hasen, an election law expert at Loyola Law School.
The case now returns to a three-judge federal panel in Washington, although it could be back before the Supreme Court later this year.
"It is certainly our hope this can be dealt with promptly so that now, not only we will know, everyone will know what type of lobbying ads are permitted," said James Bopp Jr., the attorney for the Wisconsin group.
Wisconsin Right to Life had challenged the part of the 2002 campaign finance law that bans the use of corporate or union money for ads that identify federal candidates two months before a general election. The group's ads named Sen. Russ Feingold (news, bio, voting record), D-Wis., who was up for re-election, and the state's other senator.
The commercials urged people to call the senators and ask them to oppose Senate filibustering of President Bush's judicial selections. Feingold co-authored the campaign finance law with Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz.
The appeal had given the Supreme Court its first opportunity to review the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law in practical use. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement could leave the court split 4-4 on the law, because she was the deciding vote in the 2003 ruling.
O'Connor was on the bench Monday possibly for the last time. The court is taking a monthlong break.
New Chief Justice John Roberts announced the decision, which was not signed and was unanimous.
The case is Wisconsin Right to Life v. Federal Election Commission, 04-1581.
Tommy FRANKS
I'm still hoping Tommy Franks runs with Condi as VP
So...the top choice for the GOP is pro-choice and never sought elective office, and continually swears that she is not running. She is followed by a pro abortion, pro gay, anti-gun northeastener.
If that's our frontrunners, then I hate to see the also-rans.
If I'm reading this right, Rice and Guilliana are #1 and #2 most favored and McCain is #1 least favored. I certainly agree with the McCain score. No way on Condaleeza Rice. She's a pretty lady but she's an establishment tool and NO THREAT to islamofascists. No one's going to take her serious. I say no dames in the oval office.
Rudy is in second, but he's quite liberal, in spite of his popularity. His stances on abortion didn't matter when he was mayor of NYC, but they will when it's time to appoint another SCOTUS Justice.
George Allen is next in line.

Why the author didn't do this, I don't know...
Several candidates showed up on both the best and worst lists. This could be a bloody primary season.
Rudy has his inaugural ball gown picked out already, too. Rudy in drag is one of those sure-fire election losers---like Dukakis in the tank, and Kerry in the NASA suit with the condom on his head.
Course, Rudy might get the sexually confused vote (snicker). This is not photoshopped---Rudy really dressed like this.

I don't understand how Giulani gets up there when he isn't even a conservative. I think there is some group denial about where he stands on the issues.
It's good to see that Chuckie Hagel is getting some of the criticism he deserves, but he needs a lot more. Let's all pitch in.
Hagel would be a far worse president than Giuliani or even McPain, but he doesn't get nearly the amount of criticism from conservatives that Giuliani and McPain get. Read some of the stuff that Hagel's said. It's scary. Sometimes I think Chuckie Hagel is further left than that other Chuckie, Chuckie Schumer.
If it was McPain vs. Hillary in 2008, I would very reluctantly vote for McPain. If it were Hagel vs. Hillary, I'd vote third party.
George Allen in '08!
Right of Center?
