Hard money is increased from $1,000 to $2,000 per donor, per candidate.

OK, so this is doubled. That's a pittance when you consider that the Rats will find other ways to raise money anyway. Do you think the unions won't find a way to get their membership to funnel hard donations now?

Conservatives are being asked to drink this cup of swill and pretend we like it. Why is it always the conservatives that are capitulating?

Sure they will as will the GOP. I don't think the GOP has declared themselves out of the game at all.....

What Reform?

Actually, it reduces the number of donors significantly. $2000 doesn't sound like much until you write the check. By reducing the number of households that can contribute, CFR has widened the gap between the influencers and the non-influencers.
