When Obama turned down public financing, he rather self-righteously said the following: 

From the very beginning of this campaign, I have asked my supporters to avoid that kind of unregulated activity and join us in building a new kind of politics - and you have. Instead of forcing us to rely on millions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs, you've fueled this campaign with donations of $5, $10, $20, whatever you can afford. And because you did, we've built a grassroots movement of over 1.5 million Americans. We've won the Democratic nomination by relying on ordinary people coming together to achieve extraordinary things.

But how exactly does that sentiment square with raising 9 million dollars from the Hollywood crowd at 28,000/plate?  How is that ordinary people doing extraordinary things?  I guess some rich people and their money are less corrupting of the political process than other rich people and their money are.  (Democratic leaning rich people good.  Republican leaning rich people bad.)
Count on this to be in a McCain ad coming soon to a television near you.
