Why bring the Iraq war into this? It was a horrible mistake, but one that we're stuck with until a workable solution can be planned out to get our troops home. So short term after such a bill would be passed is another strain on the treasury, albeit a small one.

Because that is something we can apparently afford for years at a time on the whim of the current President. Actually picking our next President is much more important, and would cost much less. Especially since, as Clodfobble pointed out, the public financing would likely be at a lower level than the spending has recently risen to.

Why are campaigns so expensive? TV ads that have dubious effect as far as winning over voters.
