"After seeing the influence of lobbyists firsthand during his two years in Washington, Obama decided before he entered the presidential race that he would take a different approach to fund-raising than he had in the past.
Obama is leading by example to clean up the undue influence of Washington lobbyists.
And some good-government activists say that, past fund-raising practices aside, Obama has genuinely been a champion for ethics and campaign reform, both in the Illinois Legislature and in Congress."
Contrast this with McCain who:
1) has hired lobbyists to be his top campaign advisors
2) accepts money from PACs and lobbyists
3) accepts unregulated soft-money
4) is linked to lobbyists involved in arms smuggling and terrorism support.
