1. Ironically, hillary peeps and obama peeps can agree on this. except...
hillary wants to use it to smear obama and obama wants to use it to win the white house.

3. No. The point of this was to not have corporations 'influencing'
campaigns. If he's not getting money from those big dawgs, why should he stop what's been so successful?

4. Public financing is a trap
The Goopers want him to accept the spending limits so his hands will be tied against the 527's that attack him. They can spend as much as they want.

It's a trap. Don't fall into it Barack.

10. The only way that works is if all candidates accept it.
Otherwise it's silly.
