By not accepting public finance contributions during the presidential campaign, Barack Obama helped his cause because: he was not limited on how much money he could raise, and his ammount reached $638 million, compared to McCain's $206 million, who accepted $84.1 million in taxpayer financing. While Obama reported more than 580.000 donors, McCain only reported 170.000 donors.
