That does not excuse my not providing better links at the time.

The only issue I disagree with is that candidates should control what others are saying. If these 527 groups were to change their policy it would seem the charge of coordination could be made. But candidates can separate themselves from the charges they make. Kerry has made the effort, though the ads are valid, Bush has refused, though the ads mislead. This should tell us a lot about the candidates, indeed may explain the only seemingly flip-flopping of Kerry and highlight Bush's insistence to stay the course of confusion and flopping.
