Campbell Brown wrote an opinion article about Barack Obama's "broken promise" regarding accepting public financing.
You can see her article here: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/28/campbell.brown.obama/index.html
8:00PM is no offically the No News Hour on all three US News Networks. We have Bill O'Reilly on FNC; Keith Olbermann on MSNBC; and now Ms. Brown on CNN.
But thats another point.
The point I am making is that Sen. Obama had no choice put to revolutionize the fundraising apperatus in order to survive. He wouldn't have been able to fight of the McCain/RNC Attack Ads if he had handicapped himself with Public Financing.
Mr. Obama has involved people in politics in a way not seen in generations. If he is successful in one week's time we'll be talking about the Obama Revolution like we now talk about the Reagan Revolution.
Yes, the US needs campaign finance reform. But I don't think Obama so much as broke a promise, but instead was realistic. And isn't that what everyone wants in a Commander In Chief?

A broken promise is a broken promise.
If he was just being realistic, then why did he make the promise in the first place?
