On Saturday the St. Louis Post-Dispatch did a piece on Rex Sinquefiled’s political campaign contributions:
Sinquefield not discouraged with return on his political efforts
Rex Sinquefield has become a household name in Missouri political circles.
Dropping five- and six-figure checks, he plows millions of dollars a year into contributions to state and local candidates and causes. But he doesn’t stop there.
To sell his free-market philosophy, he finances a phalanx of lobbyists, think tank experts, public relations staffers and university economists….

“…his free-market philosophy…”
Yep, a check to a campaign for $30,000.00 from a single source can be a game changer.
Wouldn’t it be easier just to write the damn checks directly to the campaigns? Just asking.
Unless someone was planning independent expenditures.
