Linda talks with Anthony Corrado, a professor of political science at Colby College in Maine, and Kenneth Gross, a former Federal Election Commission official, about the fundraising scandals that have dominated headlines in recent weeks. They discuss whether the outrage that politicians and the media have expressed at the fundraising tactics of the Clinton administration is a result of the degree to which fundraisers exploited campaign finance regulations, or is more focused on the origins of the money that was collected. They also talk about how far politicians can go without expressly breaking campaign finance laws.
