[Clara Lou]

Rather than building up your candidate you print, publish and highlight the negatives of your opposition and treat evey left wing report as gospel.
Yes, the Romneyites are operating like the Hunterites were until an end was put to it.

I think what we might see from this is...

A) The $72k was reported as CAMPAIGN donations, not exploratory or testing the waters donations. Candidates receive money all the time. Some of it is earmarked, by way of a letter or a memo on the check, for a purpose other than what they are collecting donations for. It must still be reported accurately. FRed did that.

B) An exploratory or testing the waters committee can spend more than the alleged $5k...IF...they file their quarterly as a CANDIDATE. Those filings are due by 10/31/07, I believe.

That's MY take on the regs.

America. Together. Again Fred Thompson/JC Watts in '08

RUN, Fred, Run, and Bring J.C. Watts with ya!
