Last week, there was the Florida mailman, oops, person, gyrocoptering campaign finance reform protests letters to Congress. That mission didn't end well, but the theme rages on. Hillary Clinton made campaign finance reform it a centerpiece of her 2016 presidential bid. (Risky choice, since she's expected to raise infinite sums to underwrite her encore) And Hillary has a Republican compadre on this one.
Reuters reports GOP Senator — and dark horse presidential candidate — Lindsey Graham telling a group of Republicans recently: "We've got to figure out a way to fix this mess, because basically 50 people are running the whole show." The mess is too much private money in politics; the 50 people Graham alludes to include major GOP donors such as conservative industrialists Charles and David Koch, who are expected to plunk down $900 million for 2016 campaigns.
