Wouldn't Federal matching funds be enough to redo Fla and Mich?

Whichever dem gets the nom is not going to take them yet...

I think it would be a great step foward to public financing of campaigns by useing federal dollars to finance primary elections. The reason most states still have Caucuses is becuase they don't cost much.

1. Those funds are to fund the campaigns of candidates - not elections

[Skink]

2. right but since our Government funds things by say raiding Social security...

couldn't we as citizens insist?

But my point is wouldn't this be a sep toward public financing of elections?

[gristy]

3. states finance the voting part of elections - that isn't going to change

Regardless of the issues in FL and MI.

4. I think that is the problem. The Presidency should be a federal election.
