Re: Foreign funding of Presidential campaign legal?
I don't think you can directly fund a candidate with foreign money. As I recall, there was a Clinton scandal regarding this, with allegations that he received money from some Chinese guys.
It seems perfectly reasonable, however, to fund a non-profit that would side with one candidate against the other - like the Swift Boat guys.
That would be pretty interesting, if the rest of the world started running advertising in the US. I think it might backfire though.
