It is my understanding (based on nothing except watching Colbert have fun with his SuperPAC) that there is a lot of leeway in what does and does not constitute "coordinating." So, if Romney says publicly "I'm not down with that type of thing" (which in all reality, he's probably not) and then a bunch of other people either connected to his campaign or supportive of his campaign say the same thing, and the SuperPac people just happen to hear about it and decide not to go down that road, then everything is a-ok and there is no "coordinating."

Nice huh?

It's also been noted that many of these big SuperPacs are run by former staffers of the candidates they support. How that doesn't qualify as coordinating is beyond me as well, but it doesn't. It really shouldn't surprise us though that politicians created enough wiggle room to allow them to get away with violating the spirit of the law.

Annnnd here is it..

First Read - Ricketts: I'm not going to use Jeremiah Wright

Now he isn't going to use it after all the discouraging.

[Donkey®]

Please. They'll use all his "associations" at some point...I bet Romney even says something during debates.

[Swift]

Why shouldn't he? They plaster Rick Perry for a rock that was written on decades ago. Herman Cain is out before the first vote is cast by almost all anonymous accusations. Palin's patriotism is put into question because her husband is/was part of a movement that supported Alaska separating from the USA.

But Obama is quite literally guided by a pastor for a few decades and we should ignore what that pastor preaches in the context of Obama's character, right.

No, he was not. You guys need to get your stories straight still...either he's Muslim or he's a brain washed Christian.

Yeah, he was. Obama said that he was his spiritual leader. He married them and baptised his children. He was the one that made it easy to embrace christianity without completely rejecting the muslim faith. yeah, that's what a guide does.

how is that not guiding?

Play the tapes.

I've been thinking about starting my own super pac. Start up a website and collect donations from retarded college democrats by luring them in with hip and extreme talk of revolution and police brutality and such. Then printing up a flyer and posting it on a light pole and keeping the rest of the cash for "overhead" expenses while laughing at the poor 10th year in debt college retards who have no ambition in life.
