Today: McCain-Feingold what?

This is great, McCain sponsor and namesake of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, is having a $33,100 per plate dinner in Bellevue. So how does one arrive at 33,100 even though the limit per person is $2300?

Yet the federal contribution limit for 2008 remains $2,300 per person in each of the primary and general elections. So how does McCain get around this? According to the invitation:

• For Individuals—The first $2,300 to JM 2008, the next $2,300 to the Compliance Fund, the
next $28,500 to the RNC, and the balance of up to $37,000 will be divided evenly between the
Colorado, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Wisconsin state parties’ federal accounts.
• For Couples—The first $4,600 to JM 2008, the next $4,600 to the Compliance Fund, the
next $57,000 to the RNC, and the balance of up to $74,000 will be divided evenly between the
Colorado, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Wisconsin state parties’ federal accounts.

Yes, I know Democrats do this too, in fact all politicians do this, even in Paulville. However, to have the sponsor of the election finance bill so blatantly disregard the whole idea of the bill, seems perfectly normal to me coming from the Maverick. I mean who better knows the ins and outs of the law besides the person that wrote it?

McCain’s Coming to Town and All I Get for $33,100 is This Lousy Dinner?
