Sen. Judd Gregg found himself suspected of placing an anonymous hold on campaign finance legislation last week, until his spokeswoman denied the allegation. It all began earlier this month, when the Senate was set to pass a bill that would require senators to file campaign finance forms electronically. Sen. Lamar Alexander rose on the Senate floor to object to the bill's passage "on behalf of a Republican senator." Senate protocol allows any single, anonymous senator to halt a bill.
