12. Oh, and by the way.....Trippi is full of shit as well.......
cause this is what he was saying on Public Financing in a presidential election when he worked for Howard Dean......

"But entering federal financing system has two major drawbacks. There's an overall spending limit for the primaries, so a campaign that blows through its money would be bankrupt until after its convention, allowing the opposing party's candidate to air television ads without rebuttal.

What he said about Edwards' campaign in 2003, while working for Dean, Trippi also said...."This campaign believes that any Democratic campaign that opted into the matching-funds system has given up on the general election.”

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/09/27/edwards.public.financing/index.html

But of course Now, Trippi is saying something quite different.

Meanwhile, Edwards is a millionaire who could self finance himself, but has chosen to take taxpayers dollars instead, and claims that he is doing so for altruistic reasons....when the reason is he'd rather not spend his own money on a risky proposition if he can suck at the government tit. But he wants us to believe in him.....but he doesn't even want to take the gamble if it's out of his pocketbook.. But, then again, I'm not surprised. He is a politician first and foremost after all!
