What is even better is that the issue will die with the bill when the bad parts are declared unconstitutional by the Supremes.

Ohhh, the issue won't die as long as there is a percieved benefit to the left in arguing about it, call it "Keep Hope Alive" if you will.

The left will merely claim that the Supremes who knock it down are Evil Republican Appointed justices, and the fact that they struck it down is proof positive that more "reform" is needed.

Nope. As sick as I am of hearing about campaign finance reform, I'm resigned to hear about it forever.

Given the most recent election scenarios with Carnahan, Toricelli and Wellstone there would seem to be no way on earth that the thirty day/sixty day rule could be constitutional or even manageable.

No doubt the media is the biggest loser and the American public is the biggest winner if this bill dies an early death.
