How else can you interpret what they're saying here?:
“At the end of the April, John McCain had cash on hand of over $60 million, and Sen. Obama had cash on hand of over $50 million,” Fiorina said on CNN. However, she added the money that the Republican National Committee (RNC) has in the bank to McCain’s total. The RNC has a significant cash advantage over the Democratic National Committee. On the other hand, Obama had $46 million in the bank at the end of April, more than twice the amount of McCain’s cash reserves.
Wasn't the point of his "reform" legislation to limit the flow of money into campaigns to eliminate the appearance of impropriety? So what does it say when you are willing to hold fundraisers that through fancy wording allow you to raise well beyond the candidate limit, and you are even brazen enough to count the money the party apparatus has and you have as the same money? Wow, those $2,300 limits you set each for the primary and general sure reformed the system!
Use loopholes to your own legislation much?
