For the second time this campaign season outside groups that are not legally allowed to coordinate with Mr. Kerry's campaign are riding to its rescue at a crucial time in its advertising campaign against President Bush - the most expensive on record. The spots hit just when Mr. Kerry ceased advertising and when Mr. Bush increased his with commercials reminding the nation of what it has been through, the dangers that lie ahead and, in one released Tuesday, declaring it is "rising to the challenge."What an amazing coincidence!
Not that the failure of McCain-Feingold bothers or surprises me. But it would have been better if McCain-Feingold had died in Congress or had been invalidated by the Supremes. Flouting the law foments disrespect for the rule of law.
