"Campaign Finance Effort Resumes, without McCain"
The NY Sun offers this must-read report
on Sen. McCain's failure to co-sponsor a public financing bill nearly
identical to the one he co-sponsored a few years ago. "A spokeswoman
for Mr. McCain, Eileen McMenamin, did not return calls seeking comment
for this article, but several people involved in discussions about the
legislation said the senator's absence was related to his widely
expected bid for the presidency in 2008."
On the bill itself, see this
praise from the Campaign Finance Institute and this
criticism from Bob Bauer.
