As far as the matching funds, he is opting out for the same reason all serious Dems should opt out, because George Bush is opting out. I to want good reform of the system, but cannot expect to go into this election with a $160 million less to spend when compared to Bush & Co.

I believe he has said that he wants to clean up the system, but until that happens, you've got to play the current game.
