Does this ban attack ads or ALL ads? Does this ban direct mailing (including sending videos)? Does it ban CABLE ads as opposed to networks? I need details, and so far no one is supplying them

Have no idea either, but the hyperbole is flowing like wine isn't it.

If I remember correctly, there was a veto-proof majority for this in the Senate. So a veto wouldn't have stopped this. McCain and the media had built up too much public pressure for the Senate to stand against it.

Now, the question is how to work under these new rules, whatever they are. The first test of this will be the Rat primaries. How are they going to compete with each other without attack ads? It should be a fascinating spectacle.
