Get ready for anonymous political ads

Posted at 5:19 PM on July 25, 2006 by Tom Scheck (1 Comments)

Brian Bakst with the Associated Press has an interesting story on how a court struck down a Minnesota law requiring certain disclaimers on campaign material and ads. This means hit pieces could be sent out anonymously and no one will know who sent the ads.

This was an interesting ruling. As a candidate, I'm not certain what advantages I have now that I didn't before, but it seems clear that PACs and 527s are going to have a much more free hand (if that was even possible) to run attack ads.
