Does the use of these aircarft violate FEC campaign regulations?..... If not what is the story?.... The campaigns use the aircrafts, pay for the services at the going commercial rates and campaigning goes on... I guess some cammpaigns don’t have people willing to let them use their company aircraft but that’s their fault.

45 Days and the selection process begins......

If you read the story, you see that Rudy made many flights under the old rules, which amounted to a huge off-the-books contribution by the plane owners. And if other campaigns don't get flights from billionaires, maybe it's because their positions aren't for sale. I suspect the 2nd-tier candidates, the ones who "aren't getting traction," haven't been getting these perks.

I think the donations from the ultimate fighting company is unfortunate as that is furthering the brutality culture. Sort of like watching two school yard kids beating themselves up, the whole schoolyard would run over to watch it until the teachers could break it up.
