  Bush Campaign Lawyer Quits Over Ties To Ads Group   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The Bush campaign has insisted it has no relationship with the Swift Boat group, and has denied Kerry's charge the president's re-election team is using such "front groups." Bush on Monday called for a stop to the ads, along with others run by independent groups, but he did not condemn the group or its ads.
Campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel said Ginsberg, who served as the Bush campaign's chief outside counsel for five years, informed the campaign on Tuesday that he has been giving legal advice to the Swift Boat group.
The campaign released Ginsberg's letter of resignation to Bush in which he defended his actions as legal and said he was proud to have advised the veterans.

This type of sample is normally called a 'control group' in the evaluation literature and ideally would be composed of farmers having the same ecological conditions and farming patterns as the campaign group; equality in pre-campaign levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practices would also be desirable.

Ickes, a shrewd former top lieutenant to Bill Clinton, is the maestro behind the Media Fund, a group that is raising big bucks from wealthy donors to run advertisements against President Bush.
The real issue is whether his group should be required, under the law as it existed before McCain-Feingold, to register with the Federal Election Commission because it is a group whose main purpose is to defeat a candidate for federal office.
"My view is that groups that claim a tax exemption because their primary purpose is to influence elections should be required to register as political committees with the FEC, unless their activities are entirely directed at state and local elections," Feingold told the Senate Rules Committee last week.

 Printer Friendly Version - Bush lawyer quits in Kerry Swift boat attack-ad uproar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Kerry, meanwhile, is the subject of complaints by the Bush campaign and the Republican National Committee accusing his campaign of illegally coordinating anti-Bush ads with soft-money groups on the Democratic side, allegations he and the groups deny.
He also served as counsel to the RNC in its unsuccessful lawsuit seeking to overturn the nation’s campaign finance law, which banned the national party committees from collecting corporate, union and unlimited donations known as soft money and imposed stricter rules on coordination involving parties, candidates and interest groups.
Larry Noble, head of the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics campaign watchdog group and former FEC general counsel, said it’s true that serving as a lawyer for both a campaign and a soft-money group isn’t considered automatic evidence of coordination under commission rules, but added that it doesn’t mean the FEC won’t look at it.

The group, which is allied with Republicans and upset with U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) over his stance on certain judicial nominees, objects to provisions championed by the two-term incumbent and his maverick counterpart, U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
She said her group wants to be able to use corporate money to sway Feingold and U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), who is not up for re-election, on their stands on some of President Bush's judicial nominees.
The key provision at issue prohibits groups from using unregulated union or corporate cash to pay for "issue ads" naming a federal candidate within 30 days of a primary election or 60 days of a general election.

 Variety.com - Campaign group rips Calif. coverage
The Alliance for Better Campaigns slammed ABC, CBS and NBC for airing more than four times as much news about the California recall than they aired about all 2002 gubernatorial races combined.
McGehee referred to a study released by the Tyndall Report, a New York monitoring group, which found that ABC, CBS and NBC aired 169 minutes of stories about the recall during the unprecedented two-month run-up to the election compared to just 40 minutes of news in 2002 about the 36 gubernatorial races.
The group supports a bill sponsored by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) that would require broadcasters to air at least two hours per week of candidate-or issue-oriented programming in the weeks leading up to an election.
