Re: Exaggeration at its finest!

Correct. Really, only the hard dollars matter. Here's why.

Soft money becomes illegal on 11/06/2002.

Soft money has gone to party building, get out the vote drives, issue ads, and the like.

Opinions differ on how elections are going to be changed by the elimination of soft money. I suspect that things will be unchanged.

One reason I think things will be unchanged is that the law will be set aside as unconstitutional. If McCain-Feingold is struck down, nothing changes. If the reform is constitutional, I suspect that the Democratic Party will develop a case of buyer's remorse once the massive hard dollar advantage the GOP has takes effect and Democrats have their lunch handed to them in 2004.
