John Edwards is finding himself in a bit of a predicament.

John Edwards doesn’t accept contributions from political action committees, but the lion’s share of his contributions have come through one particular PAC — ActBlue. And that could be a multimillion-dollar problem for the Democrat’s presidential campaign.

Lovely, isn’t it? Edwards claims to be the candidate clean of the use of PACs, yet ActBlue is a significant player in his fundraising efforts.

Of course, many will argue that the money flowing through the left wing money machine ActBlue is individual donations. A comment on the Politico story sums it up nicely.

And I don’t really give a cr-p whether ActBlue is a PAC or individuals. All campaign money is “special interests” money one way or another. Even “matching funds” turns into special interest money by the very fact that it’s allocated in accordance with funds raised from special interests.

It will be interesting to watch this one unfold.
