Led by AOL, Washington-area tech companies formed CapNet last summer to serve as TechNet's echo on the East Coast. It operates much like TechNet except lawmakers don't have to fly across the continent to pick up their campaign-finance checks. The CapNet political-action committee has raised $140,000 so far and by Election Day hopes to reach $200,000. Supplemented by personal donations from...
