A pundit said an odd thing yesterday..
Yeh..I KNOW ..I KNOW..they always say odd things..but this one caught my ear..

They were talking about fund raising and how mucg the GOP had raised for September...and how much Obama & the DNC had raised....and then he said "Mccain has not released HIS totals yet"..

Um..excuse me!!..

Didn't taking the public money of $87M, mean that he was not ALLOWED to raise his own mony?? Wasn't that the basis for the stink he raised against Obama??

1. welll, guess what? there's a loophole. He's allowed to collect money as long
as he uses it for costs other than ads. I forgot the details, but someone here probably has a link.

5. He wants Obama audited
According to Hardball's Chris Matthews, McCain is looking for "foreign-named" contributors so he can label Obama as a terrorist.
