In the first of many attacks to come, John McCain last night called Obama out on the use of public funds for his campaign. The fun is just beginning!
Republican presidential front-runner John McCain accused Democrat Barack Obama on Wednesday of rolling back on a pledge to limit himself to public money in November’s presidential election.
Obama is raising as much as $1 million day, generating a big money advantage over both McCain and Democratic rival Sen. Hillary Clinton in what is expected to be the costliest U.S. presidential election ever.
Obama, an Illinois senator, pledged in February last year to accept public financing and its accompanying spending limit of an estimated $85 million in the general election race if he wins the nomination and his Republican opponent agreed to limits too.
“I committed to public financing,” McCain told a news conference. “He committed to public financing. It is not more complicated than that … I’ll keep my word. I want him to keep his.”

After watching the vice presidential debate and noting how feisty and how Sarah Palin took the aggresive path, it convinced me that John Caine needs to become very aggresive himself. I think he should exploit all the proven errors and downright lies Obama is guilty of. No more Mr. Niceguy if he is to win this election; in my opinion.
