Astute observation, lonestar. A candidate funded by an $96 average contribution, I think, has a huge advantage.http://www.barackobama.com/2008/04/03/more_than_442000_donors_help_o.php

America and the individual are making a return. Gone will be the days of corporations controlling our wallets and our politics.

Edit: and, not and.

Sen. Barack Obama said last year that if he won the Democratic nomination, he would accept public funding if his Republican opponent did so, too. But since then—and since learning that he can raise tens of millions of dollars in a single month—he has hedged.

of course he has. just like he will on all his campaign promises. why? because, believe it or not, he is a politician, the same as the rest. he is no different. all he does is spew rhetoric. who knows what he'll actually do in office?

"rethink and decriminalize our nation's marijuana laws"?
like that will happen. congress won't have it, and he'll bend to other pressures to keep it illegal (big tobacco, big pharm)

"withdraw from iraq"
won't happen. garunteed, no matter how many troops he DOES move from iraq, he will leave many there on now established bases. so much for withdrawl from iraq. and you thought john mccain was the only one who's ok with staying in iraq for 100 years.
"we've been in korea for 50 years, japan 60 years." barack obama will not do anything different than this. nobody save one person advocated full withdrawl of all troops from iraq (and the rest of the world). but we won't get into that.

Do you even know what you mean?

BTW Romney raised around 50 million and spent around $50 million of his own self made fortune during his campaign.

i think Romney is worth around half billion?


(But Obama and Clinton combined have already spent close to a half billion......)
