Presidential Candidates - Obama and Edwards - No Pac or Lobbyist Money

It was refreshing to read an article concerning two potential Presidential hopefuls who have decided to not take special interest monies. Edwards has never taken special interest funds in any of his campaigns although the article did imply that having millions of your own to put into a campaign was somehow not good either. Obama who has taken Pac funds previously has made it clear that he will not be taking these funds in this campaign. However some of the other candidates are willing to take the special interest monies, among them are Hillary Clinton and Christopher Dodd. Although this could seem as a black mark against these two it is hard to know if the Pac funds will be of any influence. It definitely sends a signal to the American public, if their concerned, that two candidates believe that special interest monies do play a role in political policy.
