Lawmakers should not think that the voters will be fooled if they try to weaken it. And Mr. Bush, never a big fan of campaign finance reform, should recognize the obvious - that if he steps up and leads the fight, he could help cleanse his own administration of the taint of influence-peddling

"If Bush leads the fight he can cleanse his administration." I doubt he'll do that. There's no motivation since there are so many more newsworthy issues he can address. AND Why would he press to eliminate a huge source for funds that helped elect him. Campaign finance is merely an adjunct of the Enron problem, not the heart of it. IMO if Congress, Senate et al spread themselves too thin with too many committees focused on minutia, they won't be able to resolve anything.
