On the MCDC issue, you’ll have to address your question to someone who knows anything about it. Other than a few rumblings here by some malcontents, I’ve never read anything of the sort, and thus have no basis to perform any research.

I already conceded that he paid himself a salary during his first campaign and his first campaign alone, and I explained why that should be considered acceptable for anyone (except, perhaps, incumbents who are already paid through taxpayer money and can campaign without fear of losing it).

Campaign debt is not unusual. Most of them get settled, as Keyes past ones have been.

What is unusual is people paying themselves a salary, but I think our distaste for it ensures only those who do not depend on a salary (those who are already elected or already wealthy) stand a strong chance of being elected independently.

That's certainly one way to keep your head buried in the sand about an ugly Keyes issue.

Distasteful is that Keyes promptly lined his own pockets without similar regard to paying debts incurred during his campaign. I have little respect for a candidate who doesn't manage donated funds properly. Makes me suspicious of his intentions with my mandatory tax donations.
