Panel deadlocks on coordination among candidates (AP)

WASHINGTON ? The Federal Election Commission has failed to reach agreement about whether a Republican-leaning group can coordinate with members of Congress when producing campaign ads.

The commission deadlocked along party lines Thursday after a lengthy and heated debate over how much coordination between elected officials and super political action committees would be against the rules.

American Crossroads is the Republican super PAC that sought an opinion from the FEC, following allegations two months ago that Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska unlawfully coordinated with his party on an issue ad. In essence, Crossroads asked whether Nelson could legally produce such an ad and whether it could do the same.
