Mind showing a source where he agreed to it?
I was under the impression that he agreed to discuss it. |

why? |
Because he's the reformer behind the campaign finance reform.
McCain Feingold, or the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act.

The media would have slaughtered him. |
Yeah, but as noted by OTOH, Obama backtracked on the issue. It wasn't as if McCain would have broken the law. If his campaign team came up with a sound "defense" he could have pulled it off.
He took the funds because he simply couldn't raise nearly as much as Obama anyway. Perhaps he would have raised more than had via public financing, but not enough to make a difference. |
I agree with Jandar. McCain was effectively trapped, and Obama would have made it a real issue. |
