At the Center for Competitive Politics, which is a leading champion for the equating of speech and money in politics, is an interesting commentary that the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act has resulted in the weakening of the influence of the two major Parties. Money is diverted to third-party groups that may have different agendas than Party leadership.
I think this is a good thing and levels the playing field for other points of view.

evolved out of his business experience that the best decisions come out of an objective gathering of information and a pragmatic consideration of costs and benefits. I am interested in promoting Centrist candidates and Policies. My posts are mostly about people and policies that I believe are part of the solution rather the problem.
