Choux... |
12/22/06 |
- "Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is making plans for his campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination in two phases early next month, a top adviser told The Associated Press on Friday.
The Massachusetts chief executive is expected to file paperwork as early as Jan. 2 with the Federal Election Commission, establishing a presidential campaign committee and permitting himself to begin raising money for his race on the first business day of the new year. Romney will leave office on Jan. 4.
As soon as the week of Jan. 8, Romney will hold a ceremony to officially declare his candidacy, said the adviser, a top aide who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the official filing".

Can the Mormon Church(and operatives) contribute unlimited amounts of money to support his run for president? |

I see you're still practicing "etiquette and manners." When will you become proficient at it?
By the way, since you "don't read my answers" as you've proclaimed before, I understand why you would ask questions already answered.
>>What about the trick the Swift boat guys used to get around the campaign finance laws?
Can the Mormons make use of that?<<
...they can undoubtedly use their wealth to influence the election via 527s as MoveOn.org and others have.

The Swift Boaters ran ads that were "issue based". The issue, of course, was Kerry's truthfulness and his military record. The Swift Boaters never put out a single ad that said "vote for Bush" or even "don't vote for Kerry". Their ads were simply attempts to clarify historical events as they understood them. As such, their ads fell under the heading of "soft money" and were not subject to the contribution limitations of McCain-Feingold. (Which just proves what a disaster McCain-Feingold has been.)
