I know he opted out of the federal funding for presidential campaigns but how did lobbyists and PAC help him out or play a role in his campaign. I don’t understand why he made the decision to finance his campaign the way he did or what the significance of him doing so was. How was everything paid for?
You’d be surprised.
For example…If Fred Thompson was to drop out of the running, had raised 10 mil, spent 5mil on campaing signs and buttons. What happens to the left over 5 mil? Is it donated to the national fund to be used by the final party candidate or does Fred get to keep it and "thanks for running".
He can donate it to charity or another candidate. He can also save it for possible future campaign. He cannot use funds for private applications.
We’ve seen most of the debates, the good and bad TV ads and the candidates campaigns at their worst and best. I know there’s still 3 weeks to go, but in your heart who do you think will win. Being mostly Democrats and Republicans, we all know who we want to win, but what will the reality be?
To Rel: What are you afraid of?
I’m guessing Obama.
Later, after this tour, ends and memories of voters with ADD’s dim a bit, clips of Obama with world leaders and standing around famous backdrops will possibly give him more credibility as a world leader, more so than McCain. It is Friday, Where is Obama off to next?
Once he has all those cool pictures he can add an voice overs any way he wants to. Whatever needs to be said at just the right time. Like the big ad campaigns.
Political candidates are packaged, marketed, and sold like a can of beans. They all do it.
Disposal of campaign funds vary from state to state, based on state law; and then the Federal government has a whole different set of laws.
Here in Florida, the following applies:
Local (County) government: Losers may return funds to contributors, donate to eligible 401(c)(3) charities, or pay themselves back. Winners may do the same, but also may create an "office" account where the money can be spent on things for the office that would not normally be provided by taxpayer monies
State candidates: Win, lose, or draw, they may roll the money over into an account for the next time they run for Statewide office.
Federal candidates: Those who lose Presidential bids, if they are sitting senators, congressmen, etc.; can roll the money over into their Senate (et al.) war chest. If you’ve run your campaign effectively, you shouldn’t have a bunch of money left over. You should have spent the lion’s share of it on advertising, media spots, etc. They can also return monies to contributors, pay themselves back for any personal funds used, or contribute to eligible charities.

Pretty much everything you’e heard about the recent Supreme Court decision from politicians and the news media is a lie. I try at least a little to set the record straight.
