Hi clo,

I'm not sure that everyone who gives is against reforming the campaign finance laws - especially amongst Democratic voters. I think a lot of folks on the Tea Party right would also be supportive.

So yes, there may be some impact on the amounts Obama could raise. But the impact could go two ways.

Hi Cactus Flower,

That would be very difficult, Obama plans on having $1 BILLION for his campaign.

Oct 13, 2011
Who would donate to the Barack Obama reelection campaign now, when everyone hates politics and life and he's not even in a difficult primary or anything? Apparently plenty of people would! He raised $42.8 million during the third quarter for his campaign committee, and another $27.3 million for the national party.

McCain wanted the both of them to take government funding, which Obama originally said he would, but Obama changed his mind.
I resented him for that & thought it was a warning sign, for more backtracking to come. I was correct.

That said, he probably needed those funds to win. After the Reverend Wright debacle, I wondered if that might be ruin his chances.
The economy trumped, especially after McCain's statement that the economy was sound, or something close to that.
