Let me briefly add my praise to Heather’s post on Dan Tokaji and Renata Strause’s report issued today, “The New Soft Money: Outside Spending in Congressional Elections.” I had a chance to read this in draft a few weeks ago.
This is an important, context-rich qualitative report on the role of money in politics, and I’m already finding it very useful in my own work.
Dan will be blogging a bit about the report’s findings over the coming days (after an event tonight at GW).
