Please recall, the US gave a free pass to all political mailing, when
the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 was signed into law, marking a significant
step backward..

It is likely true. It's based on the unsupported and baseless claim
that the algorithms mail providers use, when filtering mail to Junk,
have a built in bias against conservatives. While it may be frothing
nonsense, this matter is already going further, with these two
steaming turds introduced recently.

Are "full implementation details" available?

Excluding *registered* senders of political spam/"spam" from *standard*
filters can be "softened" e.g. by special marking for use in personal
filters/sorters.

The devil is in the "details". Somehow I do not expect "barely but
acceptable" implementation as the most likely outcome.

I don't know that it's true in all of the details of how it came to
be, but GMail definitely will be exempting political email from
political committees from spam filtering.

All the more reason to dump GMail.

Spam is spam.

It is true that Can-Spam specifically exempts political mail. And it is
true that the FEC has accepted Google's proposal to allow campaign email.

However, I don't think it's true at all that it will be a good thing for
the Republican party. I think that this, like autodialers, are as apt to
turn off voters as to appeal to them. And I also think that in the past
the Republicans have totally misunderstood the internet while the Democrats
have been better at taking advantage of it.

But most importantly, I think it will be difficult to make sure that they
are campaigning to people whom they can legally appeal to. I am already
tired of getting email spam for elections in Guatemala. Sending email spam
for American elections to Guatemalans is just as bad a plan.
