The airtime gap

Should John McCain get free airtime to respond to Barack Obama's prime-time TV purchases?

  • Yes. Obama shouldn't be allowed to buy his way into the Oval Office.
  • No. Obama's a better fundraiser, and he should be able to exploit that advantage.
  • No. But federal campaign-finance law should be changed to help publicly funded candidates close the media-buying gap with privately funded ones.
  • No. But limits on spending by independent groups should be eliminated.
