Why not no donations of any kind from anyone. All funds for elections are taken out of taxs and each canidate get the same amount. This way no one can 'buy' the election with advertising and what have you.

Obama raised $150 million in one month. No way McCain can get his message out against 2:1 spending (or more). This year as in last election we will get the best POTUS that money can buy.

Campaigns should run for 6 weeks, primaries for 2 months. Put a cap on spending for primaries. Once the finalist are selected, they each get 'x' amount to campaign with and that's it. No muss, no fuss.
