"The provision was intended to force political candidates running any campaign for office in the United States to associate themselves to their television and radio advertising, thereby discouraging them from making controversial claims or attack ads."

It isn't hard to come up with circumstances under which a candidate would be unwilling to support a message on his behalf, though. Think the Log Cabin Republicans publicly endorsing McCain, or the International League of Communist Abortionists airing an Obama commercial...
