Bob Bauer disagrees with my position, as set forth in this Findlaw article. I must admit to being disappointed by Bob’s position, because I’ve always thought that those who strongly oppose contribution and expenditure limits in campaigns should be more willing to agree to full and fair disclosure. And as to Bob’s final point, I would very much favor a rule that would require a newspaper columnist who is paid by a federal campaign to promote that campaign’s interest in a newspaper column to disclose that interest in the column.
