I didn't support Campaign Finance Reform the way in was legislated under McCain-Feingold. I think a much simpler system would be simply to publish the names of all donors at some internet website--that's all donors--large and small. Even if someone does not have a home computer, they can go to their local library and be shown how to log on to get any information they may want. What has happened to campaign finance reform in this election is a travesty. There is an article at National Review Online listing some of the irregularities in contributions to the Barack Obama campaign. There are questions of fictional donations (just like fictional voters), foreign donations, and people giving over the legal limit. I just hope this election does not teach politicians how to buy an election. (Not that that lesson hasn't been learned before!)
