Good decision I think. The small money is not going to come. So its time for RNC to got to 28K per donation guys and get it done.

Apples and oranges, I think. You're talking about huge numbers supporting their candidate in a tight race against another potential nominee, and outrageous drunken sailor spending on advertising that's sapping money from the campaign as fast as it's coming in. Obama's money machine is also hitting the campaign contribution limits that will hamstring some of it come late October.

But the Republicans have got to get their heads out of their rumps. RNC voter surveys that include guilt donation demands? Hello - you want my money, you start fighting for my desires, and you actually put out a national message. Otherwise, I might as well simply toss the money out the window. It sure goes to better use on this forum than it'll ever do with the RNC.

“In contrast, Democrat Barack Obama has raised more than $236 million for his campaign. He raised nearly $43 million in March and ended the month with $51 million in cash and no debts.”

It just continues to astound me that this empty suit has actually raised nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in contributions (and the tap is still flowing, to boot!). Especially since so much of his money supposedly comes from “small online donors.”

It might be a good decision, but I am not sure how it will affect the house and senate seats that may need the money even more. Typically Presidential candidates can raise money on their own...at least easier.

...will instead accept taxpayer money to finance his general election and share other costs with the Republican National Committee.

So either way he gets my money. We'll need to change this in the future.

Not one dime. I want to see who's the veep on the ticket. Better be someone I'd want running the country.

Not one red cent until then and no guarantee if I don't like the veep.

There is poetic justice for a guy that stomped his feet and pulled his hair, and threw what could be best described a two-year old’s tantrum over dirty money in political campaigns, now getting to come first hand face to face with his own handiwork.

To all those Republican “leaders” - McCain, Martinez, Graham, Mehlman, etc., who told us to shut up on amnesty and a lot of other issues, enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Looks like we nobodies have the final word.

It will be a long winter for the Republican party. Let’s hope by 2012 these clowns are long gone and true conservative leadership has replaced them to clean up the mess the Democrats will create in the next few years.

But still.... Some says that McCain would be bush’s 3rd term and considering what all the polls says about Bush.....

With all that money the dems are digging up and spending, I think it would be a kick if McCain still won in November. It would mean no matter how much money, how many slanted polls the dems can cough up, this country still doesn’t want them.

I’ve heard rumblings about if you don’t vote for Oboma, you are a racist. Geez! Now THAT is something to campaign on.

Maybe I’ve never paid as much attention in past election seasons but I can’t remember and odder one than this one.

The Clintons spent years feathering her run for the White House. Every move she’s made was designed for this moment including the creation of various smear organizations like Media Matters and Moveon and they’ve all dumped her... even her best of pals dumped her for an empty suited Marxist American-hating black man.... all strikes me funny. Now she needs at least 10% points tomorrow to even hope to stay in the race.

Right now, money is flowing for who ever becomes the Democrats nominee. Not only in campaign contributions, they are busy gathering millions upon millions for smear campaigns against McCain.

The stack against McCain is being stacked as you read this. Even a BUNCH of people from his own party. So.....

So what if through all that, McCain still wins. I don’t think McCain is that good or bad but I’m still not convinced that anything the Dems can muster even with all the hundreds of millions of dollars, would make the liberal left wing more acceptable.

I think between now and November, it can only get more amusing.

We told the RNC that we would not support candidates who were not conseratives. I guess they didn’t believe us.

For all the blathering the Dems do about this being the worst economy since the Great Depression, they need to be asked how they could have wound up with a record amount of campaign funds. Where is it coming from? Inquiring minds want to know.
