After reading my post of yesterday, questioning just how the challenger to Dennis Hollingsworth in a 27% Dem district could possibly live up to his fantasy of raising $1.6 million, Assemblyman George Plescia shot me an email.
George says he finds it most funny that Dennis’ opponent wants to raise $1.6 million, yet accepted the voluntary spending limits that dictate he can only spend $1,003,000.
D’oh!
I guess I’ll simply refer back to the Phil LaVelle-penned SDUT article on this for the quote that says it all. Bruce Cain of UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies said, “When you’ve got a gap like 50 percent to 27 percent, you’re smoking something if you think you’re going to overcome those odds."
