Not only has this election been the most closely watched election in years but it’s also the most expensive in history.

Originally Barack Obama said he was going to take public funding, but later switched to private donations. However, McCain stuck by what he said and continues to use public funding.

A prime example of the money Obama has generously received from private donors, was the 30 min. infomercial he bought. A commercial space of that length costs between $30-$40 million. How can McCain who gets public funding compete with that?

Personally, I would rather support somebody that sticks by what he originally says than someone who changes to fit the moment.
