Something Out Of Nothing

That's what Lane Hudson, the liberal blogger who shed light on the Mark Foley scandal, is trying to do. He's filing suit against Fred Thompson's not-quite-yet-campaign because they are following the law under the "testing the waters" committee rules. Hudson believes that they're not by having fundraisers, accepting donations, etc..., but it's all legal, and Thompson is expected to declare long before the FEC suit will be filed, which means that Hudson's claim will have practically no legal leg to stand on.

Actually, after a quick review of the rules of a "testing the waters" committee and the actions of Thompson's committee, Hudson has no legal leg to stand on in the first place.

Hudson, who is probably fearful of Thompson's possible candidacy, is trying to make something out of nothing. Same could be said of VB Dems, who makes another tired, snide anti-GOP remark at the end of her post.
