Charles Keating would be proud as McCain plays three-card monte with public campaign financing

It looks like the Schmuck Talk Express™ learned a few creative financing tips at the hand of Charles Keating.

How else can you explain the fact that, to get a $1 million campaign loan, he pledged as collateral NOT opting into public campaign financing, but opting BACK IN if he lost a future primary by more than 10 percentage points, and staying in until he got enough public financing money to pay off the loan.

Will he try this in the general election, too, after trying to secure Obama’s pledge to stay on public campaign funds?

You know it.
