THE CANDIDATE OF CHANG...ING HIS MIND

Sen. Barack Obama has decided not to accept public financing for his campaign, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told supporters Thursday.

In an e-mail message, Obama said his decision means that his campaign will forego over $80 million in public funds.

In exchange for taking public funds, candidates usually agree to a cap on the amount of money they can spend on their campaigns.

"It's not an easy decision, and especially because I support a robust system of public financing of elections," Obama wrote. "But the public financing of presidential elections as it exists today is broken, and we face opponents who've become masters at gaming this broken system."

CNN digg this

Obama supported public campaign financing, until he didn't?

In an election cycle chock full of firsts, a candidate operating outside of public campaign funding is yet another. Which leads to yet another first; Obama not loving a big government program.
