New Hampshire's small but ambitious campaign reform movement has found its champion -- and he is a Republican. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who says he will decide by late May or early June whether to make the presidential race, has come out in favor of a constitutional amendment to allow money limits of the sort currently barred by Supreme Court decisions.
He did so after the reformers asked. The "New Hampshire Rebellion" campaign has taken to "bird-dogging" candidates, making sure supporters show up at town hall meetings to ask a sharp question about reform. Graham, alone among candidates, has told them what they craved to hear.
