In the interest of full disclosure
Now that the FEC has decided not to treat bloggers as potential independent expenditures and allow them the freedom to say what they want and do what they want, perhaps it's safe to answer these questions.
I know a lot of other bloggers read Polinaut. So please post in the comments section, your answer to the following questions.
-1- Are you paid in any way by a campaign or candidate?
-2- Do you consult with campaign officials or party officials as to how the content on your site can be most beneficial to a particular candidate or party?

MPR News is your trusted resource for the news you need. With your support, MPR News brings accessible, courageous journalism and authentic conversation to everyone - free of paywalls and barriers. Your gift makes a difference.
-3- Are you as an individual paid by a campaign or affiliated with an organization or company that has as a client, a particular campaign or political party?
There's nothing wrong, mind you, with either 1 or 2 or 3. I just think it would be interesting to find out what bloggers are independent, and which ones actually are working with or for a campaign.
Besides, throw in your URL and it's a free plug.
