During Sunshine Week, starting Sunday, even reporters who hue to the tightest vision of objectivity get political. Government should be more open, they cry, and with editorials and stories they actively push for improved FOIA, expansion of FOIA to Congress, and improved transparency in all parts of Government. (Note: I work for the Sunlight Foundation, which does this year round, so my judgment may be clouded...)

If I were a candidate, I would make strong stands on transparency in the Executive and Congressional branches, but I would back up the stands with more transparency on the home front of the campaign.

Maybe they are brainstorming about it now. Pictures and salaries of all staffers? Personal financial disclosure linked from the home page of the candidate websites? Descriptions of all high donor meetings? A tease--a day's worth of phone calls being made to high donors? What will they do, and what would we like them to do? A podcast of a real strategy meeting?
