The California Target Book today came out with one of their invaluable wrap-ups of who’s been spending what in the different legislative races.
For instance, the Indians have been doing lots of polling, mail and tv – while the Bay Meadows Land Company has gone to bat for two Dems in the Central Valley, but have done so more with lawn signs and radio buys.
I’m not judging, but with $300,000, I just think an IE committee can do better than lawn signs.
Most interesting, and I’m not kidding here, the ‘Legislative Black Coalition Committee’ has dropped $46,140 against Shirley Horton on ‘potholders production, postage, and distribution.’
Again, I’m not making this up. Nearly $50 grand. On potholders!
I could try to finish this post with some short little quip about what a waste of money this is, or how they just bought themselves Horton’s re-election… But really, it’s potholders. They wrote the punchline for me.
