Dale, Blues, other McCain-haters, where are you???

This just proves that Hillary is the most conservative candidate when it comes to campaign finance, at least as some on the WAB define McCain-Feingold as a socialist attack on free speech.

You know why Obama's waffling? Its because he is riding a pr wave unlike any other right now. Hillary continues to nail together her own coffin, letting these tunnel-vision tools working on her campaign negatively and sarcastically define Hillary as the pro-big money campaign. Meanwhile McCain continues to catch flack from his right flank for McCain-Feingold.

A serious question: Even assuming a ~3-fold discrepency between campaign coffers, does a publicly-financed general election ever hurt Barack more than it does McCain? If the answer is no, stalling like this during the primary is a legit savvy strategic maneuver on Barack's part.

Maybe the savviest move anyone could make would be for Hillary to voluntarily take the pledge this instant. Capture a slice of the "change" movement propelling Barack. But she wouldn't do that, Barack knows she won't. Because she's a conservative.
