Stultis the only way to make lemonade out of this lemon is to:
1. Use the new law to shut down the corrupt Soros-like funding on the 'Crats.

The RNC seems to be thinking like you and me:

Campaign Finance Ruling Quotes (AP)

Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee:

(Under the new law) our fund-raising has continued to outpace Democrats. For years, Democrats pretended that they wanted campaign finance reform, all while relying heavily on soft money. Today's ruling breaks the Democrats' back."

The 'Rats however, are playing the long game here. In the end they want to outlaw private financing of political campaigns altogether.

Another reason to fight to keep a GOP majority.

With majority leader DeLay in the House, nothing like that will happen.

In fact, I hope they can repeal the unconstitutional restrictions on independent expenditures and also bring more open internet-based reporting (24 hr).

Lastly, the internet is starting to make TV and the need for mass-media money less important anyway. Just watch.
