If I write a blog post gushing about some politician or attacking another, is that considered an ad or contribution?

  Only if they paid you to do it. Keeping records of that stuff has side benefit of spotting whose full of shit. In any case, there might be an exception for blog authors who aren't celebrities because they won't have the effect of a corporate, media campaign. Huge difference between paid ads everywhere vs some bloggers talking. What you describe is already happening against major candidates but didn't change the election. Those paying to win got furthest with one winning. Hence my focus on cutting the pay or payments.

    Yeah, but what if someone unrelated to the candidates paid me to blog for or against a candidate?
