Public Financing
September 16, 2008 – 3:56 pm by kimschOn with Shep Smith this afternoon, Mary Ann Marsh said (paraphrased):
Barack Obama is taking private donations from people. John McCain is using taxpayer dollars.
So…
because Obama’s taking “private donations” some as small as $100 from real people
Obama = Good.
and because McCain is taking the public financing that every presidential candidate in the past except for Obama has taken
McCain = Bad
Obama is the first presidential candidate to decline public financing.
His fundraising isn’t working as well as predicted.
I think he’ll be the last presidential candidate to decline public financing.

Nah, because that would mean that they learn from past mistakes.
Been reading for awhile now, just thought it was time to comment. Great site.

Thanks Jae!
Based on the widget at Amazon that’s tracking sales of candidate-oriented stuff (bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc.), I’m guessing the Dems are spending their funds buying things that announce to everyone how “progressive” they are for supporting Obama, instead of actually putting that money into his coffers.
Which reminds me: I think I’ll send another payment to McCain-Palin today.
