New McCain ad slams Obama for opting out of public funds
By Evan BrownThough most pundits - and polls - agree that the decision by U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to opt out of public financing for his presidential bid won't hurt him much with voters, U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Phoenix), his presumptive opponent in November, is hitting him over it anyway.
The new web ad catalogs Obama's statements on public financing, through which he indicated a desire to take public money, or at least sit down with McCain to discuss it, up until his decision to stick with private donors last week. It also features reactions to the decision in newspaper editorials, blasting Obama for being "disingenuous" and "opportunistic."

Quote of the Day
"The question that should be raised is that McCain's big issue here is that he shouldn't have been at that meeting with the regulators that first time because he had a conflict."
