The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

cirquelover · 06-19-2008, 10:14 AM

I'm confused, I know what's new, so can someone help me out with this?!

The news is making a big deal out of Obama not accepting public monies. Is he only allowed one or the other, as in if he takes that money he can't raise his own? Why wouldn't he take money from the general election fund for his campaign that all the nominees are eligible for? Don't they all usually partake in that money?

I am obviously missing some big piece of the puzzle!
Thank you for patience
