I’d Discuss This Article If I Were Allowed To

Powerful AP story on campaign finance and both candidates breaking promises they had made. Unfortunately, the AP policy on excerpting prevents me from discussing this. WTG, AP. Thanks a bunch.

In the meantime, I’d highly recommend listening to the conference calls Angelo has posted the last two days, specifically on the offshore drilling re: McCain and campaign finance re: Obama. Both candidates have pretty boldly manufactured issues for pure political gain. McCain’s trying to make an issue out of drilling and insinuating it will do something about energy prices (it won’t). And Obama’s numerous “justifications” for opting out of the public finance system were all squarely in front of him over the past year when he had no problem making promises. The decision today made sense; his promises over the past year did not then and look even more ridiculous now.
