I read that article and I am quite concerned about the last sentence. I am hoping it is misreporting or it is the flag the company has to fly under to pretend not to be biased because of FEC laws or something. Does anyone know anything about it?

Wow! It's actually the lead story on Politico!

Oh yeah, baby, it's on!

Before anyone freaks out, does anyone know Jerry Collette? Could we get a statement?

its for legal purposes. a neutral business offering ad time to a poltical candidate at cost is ok, if they give it for free it counts as an in-kind contribution and is capped at $2300... which wouldn't even get helium into the balloon.

Will this be in tomorrow's paper or just online? I just checked wikipedia and politico has a real world circulation of 25,000. If this is printed tomorrow, expect a big spike in traffic!

Thanks for clarifying and I am glad to hear that.
