With Edwards out, is it true MCCAIN is now the only candidate relying on Campaign Finance System?
I read in another thread that both Edwards and McCain were having problems paying staff due to a budget restriction having to do with the fact that they are both relying on Matching funds, and all the other candidates in both parties are relying on Corporate and unlimited cash.

I recently heard some pretty disturbing comments by the top Obama and Clinton people bragging -- crowing -- about how they wouldn't be bound by corporate funding and matching federal dollar restrictions like previous Democrats. Saying they didn't believe in all that stuff. This was the first time I began to question Obama as a progressive alternative to Clinton. Now I don't know what to think.

This is 1968 all over again.

I predict a HUGE dust-up at the MINNEAPOLIS Republican Convention.

Think Seattle or Chicago.

We have nothing to lose anymore, but our chains.

4. Another issue (Campaign Finance Reform) bites the dust

All that matters is that the Democrats support universal mandated private health insurance, another perversion of the New Deal.
