Ronald Reagan started it, back in 1977. George Bush perfected the
art in 1988. In the 1980s and 1990s, Democrats as well as
Republicans running for president (or thinking of doing so), have
followed Reagan's lead in establishing precandidacy PACs as a way
of raising more money faster, without the regulatory rigors laid
down by Congress and the Federal Election Commission. Marshalling
years of experience on the campaign trail, Anthony Corrado has
documented for the first time the fundraising and spending patterns
of presidential candidates who feel forced to circumvent the system
in order to amass enough funds to mount a contemporary presidential
campaign. He shows how a variety of factors-contribution limits,
the delegate selection process, expenditure ceilings, and costly
campaign strategies-have combined to push candidates to establish
PACs to raise and spend money on campaign activities well in
advance of an official declaration to run. These lofty-sounding
organizations-such as Bush's "Fund for America's Future" and
Gephardt's "Effective Government Committee"-operate as "shadow
campaigns" throughout the nomination process and often live on
beyond the candidate's formal bid for office. The year 1992 is a
special case in presidential election year history because of the
strong Bush incumbency, a reluctant Democratic challenge, and a
series of foreign policy crises. Corrado explains why precandidacy
PACs persist and how they are likely to grow (in number and clout)
if an array of bold new reform measures is not implemented prior to
the next open presidential election in 1996. After showing how the
Federal Election Campaign Act not only permits but in fact inspires
presidential candidates to break the laws governing campaign
finance, Corrado points out how, ironically, less regulation may
yield greater compliance and a more effective nomination process in
the 1990s and beyond.
