Flush with cash after record-shattering fundraising gained in part by reversing his vow to accept public financing, Obama has a huge financial edge in the last week of the campaign, having raised more than $600 million, including $150 million in September alone. (How about redistribution of this wealth???)
I found this part interesting:
Obama's campaign is reportedly being charged the "lowest unit cost" required under federal law for the massive ad buys Wednesday.
Who says money can't buy you everything?

Now what do you think?!?! Of course I WON'T be watching!!! 
I must admit that I do think what has happened with the funding of the election this year is a shame, but I haven't bothered to say anything about it because I'm sure democrats will think it's just fine and republicans will think it's not, and it's one of those pointless arguments again. I had read an article called something like "The buying of an election" (or some variation of that) where it talked about this very issue. How he PROMISED to be funded like McCain and then went back on his word, and so because he went another route he has this endless supply of money from lots of fat cats funding his election. He's got about 3-4 times as much money to spend on ads, etc as McCain. So no.....I won't be watching the Obama lovefest paid with dollars he has because he went back on his word.
I guess we know how HE feels about campaign finance reform.
