The Hill offers this report, which begins: “Rep. Tom DeLay’s (R-Texas) public defense to the charge that he and two aides illegally funneled corporate campaign contributions through national party committees to state campaigns has been that everyone does it. A new report may support the thrust of DeLay’s argument while acknowledging that not every state prohibits corporations from contributing to state campaigns, as Texas does.” In a somewhat related commentary, Brad Smith has written this Wall Street Journal oped. “Why Single Out Tom DeLay?” (paid subscription required, but excerpts here).
