Distasteful is that Keyes promptly lined his own pockets without similar regard to paying debts incurred during his campaign. I have little respect for a candidate who doesn't manage donated funds properly. Makes me suspicious of his intentions with my mandatory tax donations.
That is certainly your right, but don't fool yourself into thinking that this is an unusual case.
For the record, I'm opposed to matching funds as a rule, but given the role money plays in campaigns, I wouldn't demand anyone cripple themselves by refusing matching funds if they choose to run a campaign.
