It's funny because Obama chose to turn his back on public financing for his campaign months ago. Because McCain had already broken the campaign finance laws at that time. Laws he had helped write. If McCain wasn't going to play by the rules, why should Obama play McCain's game? The DNC filed suit against the McCain campaign in April and a judge dismissed it in May on a technicality, not its merits. The court lacked the jurisdiction until 120 days after the FEC acts. As the Dems didn't have quorum, they'd hoped to avoid that.
