Eliza Newlin Carney’s Rules of the Game column for National Journal discusses the risk that the GOP is taking by including 527 reform in the lobbying reform package: She writes that “the GOP 527 strategy is controversial, risky and politically weak. The immediate risk is that GOP leaders, by pushing what amounts to a big government bill, will aggravate rising tensions within the Republican coalition. Already, an influential group of conservative activists has banded together to lobby aggressively against 527 restrictions.”
