With the 527's that McPain's unconstitutional law allows, none of this really matters.

Just in case you needed a reason to despise McCain and Obama more...

Hmmmmm ..?? This is really interesting.

McCain can't get funding ..?? Obama can (via Soros) .. so why would Obama agree to this ..??

I smell a RAT!

I'm not going to give a penny to either of them.

It is not likely McCain will accept federal funding. He is, just like Obama, posturing to gain political points. If nominated he will seek unlimited funds, not withstanding his support for CFR.

Public financing: how to fleece the taxpayer and simultaneously lawyer the rules to allow the creative use of privately collected resources, while being able to claim moral superiority to the dunce masses. Good practice for the fiscal raping you will proffer them for their 'own good' upon assuming power.

Also known colloquially as, "getting the naive chump taxpayer to fork over more money and get nothing in return, except the vague sense that politics is somehow 'more fair', while the card-trading has moved under the table."

This just validates that the grassroots won't support him. McCain's finished, and I don't think he'll have the heart to run again for his Senate seat in 2010.

Bogus. McCain isn't getting out of the gate, so Obama isn't going to be held to his promise.

This deal CONFIRMS Obama's inexperience and naivety...

McCain snookered him...
To have a dumb ass like McCain to outsmart you is not good.

McCain KNOWS he has no chance of being the Republican nominee, so he simply risked the sleeves out of his vest -- NOTHING.

Obama should have set the "deal" to include McCain being the nominee of ANY party...
McCain is so vain and power mad, that failing to secure the Republican nomination he will jump to any piss ant party that will take him.

Inexperience and ignorance like this is another indication Obama Osama is not ready for prime time.

Semper Fi

moot point, McCrazy will never get the nomination. Unless it is the democratic one. He is no more a Republican than Usama Obama Hussein

Raising $500,000 is obscene. No wonder the great unwashed masses can't get a break. The elites are too busy passing money back and forth to each other.

I'm sure Mr. Keating-Five is all kinds of eager to make financial deals with DemonRats, as long as it makes him richer. And when you are friends with the DemonRats, getting caught means a slap on the wrist, not what Cunningham got.

McCain is in trouble.
