Don't try to buy my vote.
The best thing he could do to get my vote is "be the change." I'm quite serious. Don't be tempted to go back on a clear promise. The smears will happen anyway, and he already knows how to deflect them. All those great deflections will have a flatter ring if you open yourself up to the charge of hypocrisy, or even understandable fear about the high stakes. Integrity IS his product. Public financing is a risk he must take. But I don't think it will turn out to have been much of a risk.
