I was just interviewed by Laura Jones at KCPW on the recent news that the FEC may apply campaign finance laws to bloggers. If you don't take money from a campaign or a PAC, the rules wouldn't apply and so, I think it makes it a pretty narrow application. I actually think its good for blogging for two reasons:

• This is one more mark that the Internet has come of age in campaigns. After Dean showed that the Internet was a viable medium for raising money and connecting with people, it's inevitable that FEC rules would be applied.
• This will weed out some of the pseudoblogs that are really fronts for campaigns or PACs by forcing them into the open.
