Obama should reject taxpayer funding and continue the building of a large public coalition
Obama should just admit that when he first decided to run, the thought of being able to raise competitive funds without either a)massive support from PACs and special interest groups or
b0public funding seemed beyond even his imagination. He should be humbled and inspired by the enormous public response of small donors to his campaign which actually makes it possible for him to wage a truly competitive race--funded mostly by small donors, not special interest groups or the taxpayers--in the general election. It means democracy can actually work as a participatory sport rather than a spectator sport--when millions really participate rather than a select elite political class.
