Do you think the RNC should be allowed to pay for half of each McCain commercial?
chattterus asked:
The RNC is using donations to pay for half of John McCain’s Campaign commercials. This is legal because of a vague FEC rule that allowed committees and campaign to pay for some things together. But the FEC hasn’t clarified the rule, so McCain is using it to bypass all of the finance reform laws that he pushed to pass.

Do you think this should be allowed?

Well, you didn’t mention if the DNC is doing the same thing for Barack Obama. Which apparently they could also do if they prefer.
If it is legal then I don’t see a problem with the practice. Obama and McCain are both entitled to do what is legal.
