Campaign Finance Reform and Ads question

With the CFR that was passed and the ban on advertisements prior to an election I was wondering, when do candidates have to stop running campaign ads prior to the coming primaries?

And how negative of an impact is that going to have on those not in 1st or 2nd place come primary day since they have been unable to get out their message unless the press covered them?

Personally, I think it is an absolute and total assault on the 1st Amendment, but thats a discussion for another thread.

1. Can't answer your question.

But I wholeheartedly agree with your assesment of how this impacts the race wrt to the 1st Amendment.

Have you heard that Kucinich would require free airtime for candidates? :)
