Another highly recommended resource is Bob Bauer's campign finance law blog. Bob reports that the pair of FEC advisory opinion requests regarding use of soft money for funding the almost certain recount activities have been withdrawn. Why? The law is already quite clear - soft money in the form of unlimited individual donations are permissible for recount funding. Check out 11 CFR 100.85 here.

There will be enough legal white noise in the next few weeks, we certainly don't need more confusion.

UPDATE - Not surprisingly, Commissioner Thomas diagrees with my assessment of the law. Then again since his position seems to be to federalize every activity around all elections, perhaps it is to be expected. My frustration with Thomas and others is that they interpret BCRA in their favor in every situation. It's a "that's what we meant" mentality that is not how the law should work, in my humblest of opinions.
