Will the M$M ever talk about McCain's money hall (counting Rep state and national committees) and
the fact that he is ALSO taking public campaign financing to help him out with funds for his campaign. It's particularly interesting how little interest the M$M show in this hypocrisy when they spent many days talking about Obama's decision to not accept public funds? McCain is kinda abusing the system if you ask me.

MINNEAPOLIS -- John McCain's top fund-raisers met privately here Wednesday to begin a new effort to raise $100 million in the final two months of the Republican presidential candidate's campaign.

If the target is met, the new financing, combined with the $75 million already raised by the Republican National Committee and the $85 million Sen. McCain will get from the government, would go a long way toward closing the money gap with Democratic rival Barack Obama.

That would give Republicans at least $260 million to spend on Sen. McCain's behalf this fall. Sen. Obama, who starts the general election with money in the bank, hopes to raise an additional $220 million in the next two months, Democratic fund-raisers said.
