WHO CARES WHETHER IT'S TECHNICALLY LEGAL OR NOT...:

CREW files criminal complaint about Christine O’Donnell’s campaign fund usage (Ginger Gibson, 9/20/10, Delaware Online)

The News Journal reported on O’Donnell’s use of campaign funds in March to pay most of the rent on her Greenville town home. Melanie Sloan, CREW executive director, said FEC and legal precedent prohibit a candidate from using funds for rent.

Sloan also pointed to payments made by O’Donnell to former campaign lawyer and boyfriend Brent Vasher. While the payments are listed as “reimbursements,” Sloan said they were for rent for the home where she was living.

...what matters is what it reveals about her and what apologizing for her reveals about her supporters.
