"OBAMA OPTS OUT OF PUBLIC FUNDING" (with video)

Mark Halperin (The Page-TIME), with video:
The Illinois Senator makes the announcement Thursday morning in a video sent out to his supporters.

Land of Lincoler reverses signed pledge to stay in public system.

Says he made the decision because the financing system is “broken,” and that McCain and the RNC will be fueled by contributions from lobbyists and PACs.

“So join me. And declare your independence from this broken system and let’s build the first general election campaign that’s truly funded by the American people. With this decision, this campaign is in your hands in a way that no campaign has ever been before.”
