But He's A Maverick!

Marc Schmitt:

And, speaking of reform groups, have you seen the press release from Democracy 21, the Campaign Legal Center, Common Cause, Public Citizen, the League of Women Voters and U.S. PIRG urging Senator McCain to keep his commitment to public financing and stop manipulating the matching funds system for the primaries? No? Me neither. I'm sure it's coming any. day. now.


Cindy McCain is starting to hit Michelle Obama today over some rhetorical flourish. This would be an excellent way to fight back. Really, the major candidates could get a lot out of this. John McCain essentially tried to hold up the public financing system for personal welfare payments while talking about how committed he was to campaign finance reform. That's RIPE for an attack.

Also, this shows the failure of these good government groups, which find themselves as resistant to looking at reality instead of conventional narratives as the traditional media.
