Republicans argue that turnabout is fair play. Barack Obama shunned the public financing system in 2008 and vastly outspent John McCain. Democrats, they say, are complaining now because they are at a disadvantage.

That’s at best half right. It’s true that Obama struck a blow against public financing, though the system was insufficiently financed and would eventually have collapsed under its own weight. And four years ago, Obama filled his coffers through the regulated system that limited the size of contributions and that required disclosure. This year, there are no guardrails, no limits on what can be raised and spent. A remarkably small number of very wealthy people will be able to do what hasn’t been done for generations.

He hasn't yet come close to raising more than Mr. Romney even through secret donations, because even the rich Liberals know it may be a losing account.
As they say, what goes around, comes back around.

I fear what America will become if there ever were to be a Romney Presidency when it is payback time to all his owners for their largess in supporting him for the presidency.
The Regime of Baby Doc W Bush almost took down America economically but America was saved by a Democrat Congress elected in 2006.
Willard knows he can't do anything if the Republicans don't control ALL of Congress and he's banking on it so when,as president,he doesn't do as promised,he can blame it on the Democrats.

You mean he can do the same thing Obama's doing now?
But when HE does it, it will all of a sudden be wrong?
