Not coordinating.
Taking cues via cable.
From Tuesday – but they do make a valid point. This Super PAC clause about “not coordinating” between candidates and Pacs, and the fleeting and ambigious nature of “coordination”, is making a mockery out of campaign finance law and american democracy, public elections and the whole country at large. America’s government is now in part ruled by anonymous money nukes, and the “one person one vote” is replaced by “a bit of people’s votes – and some arbitrary/freely scalable gigavotes by whoever”.

Rally to Restore Sanity, Washington D.C. 10.30.10.
From Politico:
RICHMOND — President Barack Obama seemed to offer a ringing endorsement Wednesday for “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart’s upcoming Rally to Restore Sanity – although he didn’t get the name quite right.
“I was amused — Jon Stewart, you know, the host of The Daily Show, apparently he’s going to host a rally called something like Americans in favor of a return to sanity, or something like that,” Obama told a crowd gathered around a living room in a comfortable suburban home. “And his point was 70 percent of the people – it doesn’t matter what political affiliation –70 percent of folks are just like you. They go about their business. They work hard every day. They’re looking after their families. They don’t go around calling people names. They don’t make stuff up.”
