This story keeps getting more and more ridiculous by the day. It’s no longer a case of teenagers donating 5 grand to uncle Joe – it’s now eleven year olds doing it.

Having family members donate large sums is an obvious loophole to the current laws everyone has known about for some time. And I suspect it would be very hard to prosecute anyone for breaching the financing law for offenses like this.

That said, how the Volpe campaign can continue to pretend this is no big deal is beyond me. It’s obvious that the donations should be returned before his campaign uses up what little ethical credibility it has left.
