BTW, I wouldn't vote for this guy myself. If you are going to change parties you should do so before running under the banner of the party you are deserting. I count loyalty to friends and associates as a major part of what one should be judged by.

Does federal law compel Griffith to do so? Or can he just keep the money? I don't remember a "money back guarantee" being written into law. Setting that precedent would be really interesting -- politicians would have to set aside "reserves" in their campaign funds to pay back disgruntled supporters. Only in America.
