The Democrats went to Canada. Why? Because if you're not actually physically in the US, you aren't constrained by US election financing laws.
Sounds ridiculous, but its true. Uber reporter Lynn Sweet has the story:
The Giannoulias Democratic Illinois Senate campaign confirmed Monday--after prodding from the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee--that Alexi Giannoulias was in Canada on Sunday attending a fund-raiser at a trial lawyer convention in Vancouver that would benefit his Senate campaign.
It kinda makes sense that trial lawyers would figure out a way to escape restrictions on their fund raising.
