  •  I just rather raise above it as a Obama supporter (1+ / 0-)

    There just something that seems wrong because I rather see Obama win this one without a tactic like that. I want us to win on merits not FEC in this case. It has to be something more unethical in my view for the FEC.

    Poll worked 7am to 5pm! Ran caucus till 10:30pm! Proud Texas dem!

      Let's be clear...

      If there were to be any FEC actions, I really doubt that she'd be removed from the ballot.

      She'd probably be fined, or at worst -- forced to return the contributions raised at this event.

      Considering the money involved here (tickets from 125 through 2300) -- it seems that we're talking about a substantial amount.

      Look - I'm NOT saying this is reason to "not vote for Clinton" -- I'm simply trying to tactically deny her warchest a huge haul.

      I think that's entirely legitimate.

      Nowhere in this diary (OK - I guess the title... I'll change if folks feel it's over the top) did I say that this draws the morality or fitness for office of Hillary Clinton into question.

      I'm simply trying to deny Clinton a big fundraising haul that would appear, per the FEC, to be illegal.

      I guess everyone's got their own blog now.

        it can't stop McBush from violating overspending his cap as a recepient of federal campaign funds, how can it possibly go after this?

        We're retiring Steve LaTourette (R-Family Values for You But Not for Me) and sending Judge Bill O'Neill to Congress from Ohio-14: http://www.oneill08.com/
