There's been a lot of talk lately about whether presidential candidates Obama and McCain have a "deal" to accept public funding if they are their parties' nominees...
For campaign finance junkies two very interesting reports came out today. One shows that Obama raised a stunning $32 million last month. And another shows that, until very recently, anyway, McCain's campaign was virtually broke.
You're way behind in fundraising for congressional races. The tide of public opinion is against you. What's a party to do? Recruit wealthy candidates, of course.
Our nation's political leaders, particularly those in Congress, would do well to learn from a state that seized, rather than deferred, its reform moment.
