Russert puts both candidates on the spot with questions about the nuts and bolts of campaign finance. As I noted here, Obama is equivocating on what appeared to be a firm pledge to participate in public financing in the general election if his GOP rival does the same. As Russert points out, John McCain has called his bluff, and Obama is now trying to postpone the moment of truth until he becomes the nominee. His present line is that he will "sit down with John McCain and ...we will see if we can have a system that is fair for both sides." That is not what he told campaign finance reform groups last September when he said bluntly that he would accept public financing if the Republican candidate also participated.

Clinton has difficulty dealing with Russert's challenge to release of her (and Bill Clinton's) tax returns. The issue has become topical now that Clinton has donated $5 million to her own campaign. It is difficult to know where this money came from without the release of the tax returns. She says she "has been as open as she can be," but will not promise to release the returns before next Tuesday's primaries in Ohio and Texas.
