    McCain and Obama agree to forego private campaign financing

    http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/02/us/politics/02fec.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin


    WASHINGTON, March 1 ? Senator John McCain joined Senator Barack Obama on Thursday in promising to accept a novel fund-raising truce if each man wins his party?s presidential nomination.

    The promises by Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona, and Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, are an effort to resuscitate part of the ailing public financing system for presidential campaigns.
    Good idea IMO. If nothing else, it'll keep my phone from ringing and a little more dough in my wallet over the next 18 months. Hopefully, though, it will result in a shift in focus away from fund raising and towards substance. Dare to dream, eh?

      yes dare...problem is the amount that will be necessary to win either of the primaries, since they decided to start them last november, may totally eclipse all past campaign spending records by themselves

          I have stopped dreaming along time ago in regards to politics and government.
