Once the amendment is triggered, another provision allows national and state party committees to make unlimited coordinated expenditures on behalf of the candidate.

Here's the real threat Norm. If this provision is being reported correctly the New Majority can pick a candidate and legally pump millions into his campaign through the CRP.

That is correct.

This is one of the things that depresses me most about this entire campaign finance scheme. Not only do I not like the regulations in general, but under this system you tie the hands of SOME candidates, but then allow a situation where you have party committees that might not be controlled by people who embrace the Party's philosophy being able to pump unlimited amounts of money in a race.

In California the conservatives lost control of the State Party over the past 3-4 years.

The people who run the Party now would very much prefer a more liberal candidate like Brian Bilbray win than a conservative like Howard Kaloogian or Bill Morrow.
