Fundraising myths

Politico's Ken Vogel has an article attacking some of the enduring talking points on the presidential campaign fundraising.

On his chopping block are:
  1. 527s are a major factor 
  2. McCain is running a publicly financed general election campaign 
  3. McCain broke campaign finance law in the primary
  4. Lobbyists and PACs are big players in presidential politics
  5. Hillary Clinton’s debt is a pressing concern
I don't know enough of the FEC rules to call this an authoritative debunking - but it certainly adds to the discussion.
