The Center for Competitive Politics is a right wing 501(c)(3) whose primary focus is on unfettered action to the election process by Big Money. For instance, we have them to thank for Super Pacs. They're just partisan hacks. I would hardly consider them objective or reasonable, any more than I'd expect a left wing PAC to be.

"The organization has been particularly active in criticizing campaign finance regulations, taxpayer-financed political campaigns, and restrictions on referenda and ballot initiatives. The Center publishes various studies and reports on election related matters, and provides pro bono legal counsel to parties in suits challenging the constitutionality of election statutes. It has also has defended the right of independent groups to participate freely in the electoral process.[2]

"The Center represented the plaintiffs in SpeechNow.org v. Federal Election Commission, the Court of Appeals decisions that authorized the creation of Super PACs.[3]"

"An appeal was filed, and a ruling in February 2003 came down in favor of WTVT, who successfully argued that the FCC policy against falsification was not a "law, rule, or regulation", and so the whistle-blower law did not qualify as the required 'law, rule, or regulation' under section 448.102 of the Florida Statutes.[8] ... Because the FCC's news distortion policy is not a 'law, rule, or regulation' under section 448.102 of the Florida Statutes,[8] Akre has failed to state a claim under the whistle-blower's statute."
