One tribe has been reported with over 75 different names.

It's probably an indicator of someone who's organized, someone who's dedicated, who's investing the time and energy early on.

There's a lot of groundwork that these leadership PACs can do that can be instantly translated into presidential support. You're making contacts throughout the country. When you announce a candidacy, those people already know about you.

That's a huge expense. Most of these pre-presidential-type candidates will do this and use their leadership PACs as much as possible.

This is the new avenue for political money. This keeps the names of the companies in front of the national party leaders.

There's always some hot-button issue where it's a slugfest by industry.

The question is, what did they get in return for that?

You don't know where the trip went. You don't know who went on it. You don't know if a lobbyist was on it.

Because we can't see a lot of their activities, people wonder how big they are and how active. There is a hazy line between indirect and direct involvement in elections.

There's certainly a lack of attention to detail and poor accounting practices here, but these sorts of things are common in political accounts.

It's fairly common over the years no matter what party one comes from, that senior administration officials often move to lobby firms or lobby for various clients because they know who to contact, at what time, and can instantly get their calls returned. Their speed and skill lobbying is what makes them valuable.

If they prove successful, you'll certainly see more candidates doing it. But it's not something that anyone can do. A lot of it is time sensitive, depending on world events and national events, and you need an enemy, the way Republicans use Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton.

The fear is that you'll have some hearings and then they will degenerate into partisan bickering and name-calling, with members of Congress claiming a holier-than-thou approach and possibly the public might start to laugh at them ... And that would probably further turn off voters and increase the cynicism and therefore nothing would change,

When you look at a corporate leader or a union leader, or a lobbyist, saying, why would they give $10,000, is it part of their lobbying plan for some type of access buying. It opens the whole arena up to questions in the public's mind.

I think their goal was to circumvent disclosure. They're moving this money in a way that's a little bit more complicated than if they just wrote one big check to the Democratic National Committee ... They had to go through a few more steps, more complicated ones, basically to hide this money.
