I'm not sure he can even do this now. I had read that you make this decision twice: once for the Primaries, once for the General Election. When McCain was such a long-shot early on, he agreed to take public funding for the primaries, which places severe limits on the amount of private contributions and spending.

While it is possible to get FEC approval to change your mind, since the FEC is short 3 members (due to Congress stonewalling the Bush admin.) the FEC does not have a quorum (during a national election for President and Congress). Without a quorum, the FEC cannot approve McCain's flip-flop, so he may be acting illegally.

But what the heck, he probably will only get a $100,000 wrist-slap after the election, a la Billary's many fundraising fiascos.
