The Democratic National Committee will file a complaint Monday with the Federal Election Commission, alleging that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has illegally blown through spending limits imposed by the presidential public financing system.

"This is a classic example of someone who talks one way and does the other," DNC Chairman Howard Dean said today. "Our purpose here is to get him to obey the law."

Alex Conant, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, replied that Dean lacked credibility on the issue, while McCain spokesman Brian Rogers noted that Dean withdrew from the public financing system during his bid for president four years ago.

"Howard Dean's hypocrisy is breathtaking, given that in 2003 he withdrew from the matching funds system in exactly the same way that John McCain is doing today," he said.
