About 25 years ago or so, there was a moderate Republican congressman who represented Long Beach, CA and thereabouts, and I remember him saying that the effective way to get control of campaign financing was for congress to pass a Constitutional amendment that the states would have to ratify, that would give congress the power to set the money limits in federal elections. We've had laws which did things along those lines until the Supreme Court shot them down, but a 28th Amendment could do the job if passed. I'm not sure I want it, but it might be a possibility.
