The worst thing about "reform" as a rallying cry is not its sanctimony, but its insincerity. It becomes just another club to beat an opponent and seize power. Claiming that your campaign will not take money from pacs--political action committees that were themselves set up as a reform thirty years ago--is a form of false chest thumping. It's laughable, since money will always find a way into campaigns. Trying to keep out lobbyists is also a fulsome gesture, a way to bamboozle the rubes who think that a good campaign can be run with inexperienced personnel.
