DescriptionWASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain threatened Wednesday to go to court to force the Federal Election Commission to crack down on mostly Democratic fund-raising groups called “527s,” which he said are circumventing campaign finance laws by using massive “soft money” contributions to run TV ads attacking President Bush.
