“Not accurate. Under federal law, Bayh cannot personally use that money.”

Are you sure? I’ve read that in a couple places, but should have checked my facts.

I believe he can donate to other candidates etc. Probably can have a staff that is paid from these funds also (family members).

That used to be the law, but it changed in the 90s. The candidate can repay loans that he made to the campaign, but only up to a certain amount. After that, it can be given to other candidates (or the party’s general fund), to charity, or returned to the contributors.
