actually, very smart move on his part. his primary campaign fundraising operation was nothing short of amazing: over 1.4 million donors, donating more than $200 million dollars...and 94% of his donations are less than $200. he has moblized a grass-roots army - no need to to make Kerry's mistake and tie his hands with public funding of his campaign.

An extremely smart move for Obama. Where he has told his supporters and the Democratic party to not fund 527s, McCain has said he will not. Not only that, but neither he nor the Democratic party will accept financing from lobbyists and special interests, where McCain's entire campaign is made up of them. Obama would be a fool to limit himself to the public finance program in the face of the GOP's 527s and lobbyists, and Obama is no fool.
As for your 'quote', it isn't. Surely you could make up something better? Oh wait. You're Republican and so have no imagination, unless you're imagining the money your party will make, and you will never see a penny of, by pushing the agenda of special interests. The GOP is bought and paid for, but it went at fire sale prices due to your candidate having the appeal of a warm piss on a hot day. Did you get the GOP memo on how McCain's campaign manager has been working against America's interests for 4 years, and how McCain has known about it for 3 of those years? Oh, and that Airbus deal looks to be going south. More bad news for McCain and his lobbyist campaign, eh? Š

What's smart about breaking a promise that's been often repeated and well publicized? Kind of ruins one's reputation doesn't it?
An election with financial equality, based solely on issues and character, would have been a welcome relief from big money politics and endless campaign commercials, but Obama seems to have decided that his character and positions wouldn't get him elected despite his criticism of the alternative. A new kind of politician my ass; he sells out as readily as any old politician.

McCain's idea of public financing is a sham. His special interest PACs and 527's adhere to no code. Obama said he would try to work it out with McCain and McCain wasn't interested, but he called off MoveOn anyways just to show your boy up.
I notice Black has been called out yet again. This time for lobbying for the TelCo's to get their amnesty deal. And from McCain's 'Straight-Talk Express' none the less. Repubs just not having a good year of it are they? The trick to operating a good puppet is to not let the public see the strings. Š
