SENATE COMMITTEE OKS CAMPAIGN-FINANCE BILL

Democrats pushed their version of a campaign finance bill with fixed limits on how much candidates can spend through a Senate committee Thursday as prospects for a compromise brightened.

The Rules Committee approved the Democrats' ideas for reform on a 7-3 party-line vote, but lawmakers acknowledged the action was intended only to get serious negotiations started. - Associated Press
