Are Barack Obama and John McCain hypocrites?
As underdogs, they embraced public financing. But now, as the likely nominees, they're looking longingly at millions in private contributions.
By Mike Madden [2008-02-28]

  • Obama pledged to stick with spending limits...

    after he is the nominee, that would mean AFTER the convention; in August. That's just a little over two months before the general election.

    Should Hillary bow out after next Tuesday, what's to prevent Obama from continuing to run positive ads on the issues in the months before the convention, while the DNC runs ads against McCain?

    He could easily agree to take public financing in September and October and run a very effective campaign.

    I don't see it hurting Obama to stand by his pledge.
