Federal Election laws.

- can he favor the DEM candidate in the general election without running afoul of the max contribution limit?

- will his ads have to be 'issue' oriented = merely saying "woman's right to choose!!!!" etc ??

- can he mention Trump by name = "VOTE AGAINST TRUMP" ??

Well you’re about to see liberals suddenly having no problem with Citizens United.

He still has ads running here after he dropped out of the race. My buddy who isn't into politics visited two weeks ago... kept asking why is this guy running commercials where he says nothing? Only "I'm Mike Bloomberg and I approve of this message".

With Bloomberg out, there’s a large advertising void out there.

Chicken should make his move...

Some tv pundit said if a PAC is set up then he can spend all he wants to. I would think you wouldn't any longer be hearing "I'm Mike Bloomberg and I approve this message" however.
