So let me get this straight:

16. Fine amounts:

The FEC, in its statement dated March 29, said the fine for the Clinton campaign was $8,000 and the fine for the DNC was $105,000.

Campaigns and candidates frequently incur fines.
They just roll with the punches and pay the fine.

Apparently Marsha Blackburn had quite a few of them about 10-15 years ago. (read about them when I was googling her silly image consultant image last week)

Fines are way of maintaining records and keeping accounts honest. This really is not a big deal. It's not meant to cripple anyone. Just that if the situation arises again, the lesson is learned. Of course, huge fines and multiple violations can cripple a campaign.

Usually, I agree with you, but I think this not that big of a deal. I see it is as more of traffic ticket type violation than anything.


Campaigns in Texas get them from the Texas Ethics Commission all of the time, they just don't make the news.
