and he had my complete permission to use it. Before casting stones, do a little look into the huge number of individual donors and the average donated. Last I heard it was less than $100.
The campaign finance reform bill that McCain sponsored with Russ Feingold was sold as a way to stop the influence of huge donors to buy an election. What's ironic is that had Obama used the public financing system, the money from 527's and the RNC which would have been spent outside that system by the Republicans would have dwarfed what was available to him. Only by going public, refusing PAC money, and creating the most extensive grass roots fundraising effort in American history could he have competed fairly.
Despite the huge amount of money raised and spent, I'm fine with that as long as it primarily comes from individuals as it did in this election.
Do some homework about ACORN. They were the good guys.
