The idea is to tap donors for more than the $2,300 limit set by campaign finance laws.
Every day McCain gives me another reason to not vote for him.

So, now we know (as if we didn't already) that McCain Feingold was about something other than principled opposition to big money in politics...

He would not have a need to go after the big donors if he hadn’t booted the grassroots conservatives to the curb.

To help ease their fund-raising woes, John McCain’s campaign has devised a new system to increase the maximum amount an individual can donate to the unofficial Republican nominee’s election efforts. I can think of a few other words that would fit nicely in place of 'devise'.... that Constitution does seem to fit some more than others... especially when some take the power to alter... Now why should liberals he held to a higher standard???

Could this development be channeled into an admission that McCain-Feingold is bad law and should be repealed?
Just as I cheered Stephanopoulos when he asked Obama about his relationship with William Ayres, I would cheer the reporter who asks that question of McCain in the general election debates.
McCain is sure doing little to earn conservative votes...

Ahh, yes, the man who supposedly ended “big money” donations, but really neutered the free speech rights of the little folk, has come up with a new creative way to skirt his own cmpaign finance laws?
How Machavellian!

Campaign Finance Reform for thee...but not for me. What a scumbag John McCain is! Why on earth would anyone think he would be a good president? He is every bit as bad as Obama and Clinton - maybe in different ways - but he is every bit as bad.

"Hybrid legal structure"? What a maverick!!!
I can't wait to hear the remarks from the McCainiacs.

Yes, can you imagine how they would condemn Hillary Clinton for doing this?

Anybody with a lick of common sense knows the reason for the "pause" in drawing down the troops in Iraq. They're going to start coming home in February 2009, no matter who the President is.
I still think Obama's going to win, because McCain keeps pulling stunts like this "hybrid legal entity". McCain does nothing to inspire enthusiasm in his candidacy, and all he has to fall back on is his biography, i.e. being a POW.
I will shout it from the mountaintops: I respect John McCain for his service and sacrifice to the country. But that does not make him better qualified to be POTUS.
