Outside The Beltway points up via an AP article, that:
The Democratic Party, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and two groups associated with the civil rights activist have agreed to pay a total of $200,000 in civil fines for campaign finance violations in the 2000 elections. At issue in the Federal Election Commission case was about $450,000 in election spending by Jackson, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and the Citizenship Education Fund using funds from the groups.
Now, would it be goche to point out that the press is pretty kuch ignoring this story and is all over the story of a fine half that size being laid against Tom Delay’s state campaign people in Texas?
