@justinamash @clairecmc It's not coordination. Coordination limits requests or suggestions by candidates or agents, not the reverse.

@justinamash She wasn't running ads based on suggestions by Akin.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@DavidLKeating I think you're misunderstanding my point. This is a novel case. Akin's camp was running ads based on McCaskill's suggestions.1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

@justinamash They were ads for Akin by Akin, not by McCaskill or for her primary election. It is novel, but it's not illegal coordination.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@DavidLKeating I disagree. She admits that her actions were to benefit her campaign. I'd call it a "misdirection theory" FEC violation.2 replies 1 retweet 0 likes -

@DavidLKeating Is the law poorly written? Yes. But her actions sure seem to satisfy the three-prong test for coordination.1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

@justinamash@DavidLKeating It'd be helpful if you laid out how it meets the three-prong test. The threshold seems impossibly high.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MEPFuller (1) Someone other than McCaskill paid for ad. (2) Ad advocates for a candidate. (3) Ad was distributed at McCaskill's suggestion.1 reply 3 retweets 2 likes -

@justinamash The McCaskill ads purportedly against Akin were from a PAC? She endorsed the ad, no? Also, "materially involved in decisions"?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@MEPFuller Look at the law. Doesn't have to be from PAC. She doesn't need to publicly endorse. She doesn't need to be "materially involved."

@justinamash I'm just genuinely confused what you're saying is an in-kind contribution? Is it telling Akin to run the Huckabee ad? Her ad?0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
