Bill Bradley on Morning Joe making a great case for public financing of federal campaigns

[flpoljunkie]

--talking about the corrosive influence of money in politics--lobbyists bundling campaign cash for members of Congress. He says it will not change until--either the public gets fed up or the president leads. He suggested that health care fight and subsequent legislation would have been very different if President Obama had pushed campaign finance reform when he first took office. OF course, he did not.

2. It was well-stated, simple, easy to explain to 'Murkah.

And thus, it will never happen. Shame.

3. Miss him as a Senator

And I miss him as a Knick.
