...actively participating in congressional campaigns in 1989 and '90. GOPAC officials always denied the charge, claiming the committee was dedicated to supporting candidates for only state and local races, which would be outside the realm of federal financial-disclosure rules. The agency probed the matter following a Democratic complaint in 1990, and Gingrich has said the FEC offered to settle it for $150,000. But when GOPAC refused, the FEC filed a civil lawsuit last year. Last week the agency submitted several thousand pages of documents to support its case...
...Eisenach, who spent as much as two-thirds of his time on "Newt support" projects. The FEC's filing also raises questions about whether Gingrich went to bat for GOPAC benefactors--potentially explosive suggestions of quid pro quos that Democrats have vowed to make the basis of a new complaint against the Speaker before the House Ethics panel.

They became what they replaced.'' Cronk was never a Perot voter, but he voices the big complaint of Perot's followers. For them, Republicans have not gone far enough on term limits and campaign-finance reform. Then again, neither has Clinton, so his support among those voters will be soft. In the Election Monitor, 20% of voters say they still support Perot, which is close...
