Barack Obama Campaign is hedging on his proposal last year to accept public financing and its spending limits for the general election if the Republican nominee does, too.
John McCain Co-author of McCain-Feingold campaign finance law pledges to run general campaign on public financing money and its spending limits if Democratic nominee agrees to do the same. But turned down federal matching funds for primaries so he could spend more than the limits. Is defying a Federal Election Commission letter that said he needs FEC approval before withdrawing from the primary public financing system.
