Hurts McCain more than Obama
I read Obama's statement about public financing and he left a few loopholes so I think he can get out relatively unscathed. On the other hand, McCain was a a sponsor of the financing reform so it stings more if he rejects it.
As to hypocrisy, as others have said, big surprise that politicians are going back on an ideal to get elected. Plus, if we judged everyone for hypocrisy than we all be forced to wear large H's on our chests. We all tend to interpret things to make sense in terms of our self-interest and then justify our impulses however we can. Human nature.
