Seriously, Thank you! Us, Every single Obama donor, from the lovely woman who sent $3.07 in South Carolina with a line of scripture, to our friends who have the luxury to max out at Bon Jovi's party... Every donor down the line, take a bow, because YOU kicked John McCain out of Michigan!!!
Barack Obama’s decision to forego public funding for his presidential campaign helped force John McCain to withdraw from Michigan, abandoning an important strategic objective, said a McCain adviser. The withdrawal was a painful decision for Sen. McCain (Ariz.), the GOP presidential nominee, who spent nearly $8 million to advertise in the state.
McCain strategists decided, however, that they had to pull out of Michigan to keep up with Sen. Obama (Ill.), the Democratic nominee, who has been allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts on the general election because he opted out of public funds.
“Obama did not. Obama has access to a lot more money than we do,” stated the lawmaker.
