    A good idea, he can compete is alot of red states. I do not think Florida will go over, but I am certain that Virginia will be in play along with Mizzo.

    New Mexico might also be in play under very popular Gov Richardson.

    I am also pretty sure Iowa will go over.

    Depending on McCains running mate, there may be a trade of those states for New Hampshire, Michigan and a long shot hope of sneaking in Minnesota.

    Nice now that Barry has broken another campaign promise already –

    “Mr. Obama’s campaign now claims that his earlier promise was not to stay within the public financing system if his opponent agreed to do the same, as Mr. McCain has done, but merely to pursue such an agreement.”

    “If you are nominated for President in 2008 and your major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general election campaign, will you participate in the presidential public financing system? OBAMA: Yes.”

    Christie,
    Obama has no reason to stick to that promise.

    However the flap that Democrats tried to start over Sen. McCain’s public financing shows that we must do as he says not as he does.

    *sigh* haven’t we been over this? It was not a promise. It was not a “pledge.”
    Nothing about McNovocain’s playing with the rules either, I see.

    Duros,
    Fair enough, however I actually will defend Obama on this because he has ALOT of cash, he has no reason to take public financing.

    Should Obama take public financing? Oh yes, absolutely. We don’t want our political process to be corrupted by the influence of millions of small donors, do we?
