"In the heat of the 2008 Democratic primary campaign, when members of candidate Barack Obama's staff began to fret about the potential for illegal attempts to intimidate voters on Election Day in Nevada, the campaign's general counsel calmly told everyone on a staff conference call to settle down. Don't worry, attorney Robert Bauer is said to have counseled. If necessary, the campaign will simply call the local authorities and have the opposition forces arrested."

"He is a flexible advocate," said Scott Thomas, a former Federal Election Commission chairman. "On behalf of his clients over time, he has been for soft money and against it. He has been for public financing and against it."

As the Democratic primary battle with New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton grew increasingly heated, Mr. Bauer took on the role of attack dog. Perhaps the most notable skirmish came on the day in early March when Texas held its caucus. The Clinton campaign began to accuse its rivals of locking Clinton supporters out of voting places, prematurely filling out sign-in sheets and calling in results before 7 p.m., when caucuses are supposed to start.

He has had another reason to proceed with more caution. His wife, veteran political strategist Anita Dunn, was tapped to be Mr. Obama’s communications director.
