Why bother with public campaign finance money? It’s not enough. Sure, $84-million in two months sounds like a lot of money. To John McCain.
It’s chicken feed. I’ve raised twice that much money already, and can probably do it again between now and the general election. The deal is rather straightforward. Or, as I like to tell reporters, “It’s simple math, boys!”
The government collects money for campaign financing. However, once a presidential candidate decides to use public financing, he must agree not to raise or spend money beyond the amount the government provides.
Please. What is American about that? We have created a parallel public financing system where the American people decide if they want to support a campaign they can get on the internet and finance it.
Since John McCain’s followers and supporters are old people who don’t know how to use the internet, he wants to take public campaign finance money.
Sorry, John. No can do.
