Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[DEMO P2]

The McCain campaign has long struggled to raise money, and was out-raised by several of his Republican rivals in the primary and vastly out-raised by Mr. Obama. But in recent months the campaign’s decision to raise money in tandem with the Republican National Committee, which is far richer than its Democratic counterpart, has yielded results.

The McCain campaign hoped that by accepting public financing – which will yield it more $84.1 million – and relying on the deep-pockets of the Republican National Committee, it will be able to stay competitive with Mr. Obama.


again my facts are correct - once mccain takes the public funds he can no longer raise money on his own

he has to depend on the RNC - obama did not take public funds and can raise any amount he wants
