(Davis) Campaign Could Top $50 Million

LA Times

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Gray Davis, the candidates who hope to replace him and groups with an interest in the outcome of the Oct. 7 recall election probably will spend $50 million, and perhaps twice that much, between now and the vote, according to campaign consultants and experts.

The pace of spending, particularly after Labor Day, probably will surpass that of last fall's election for governor.

"Keep the kids away from the television and also the mailboxes," said Bill Carrick, a Democratic consultant with no candidate in the recall. "I don't think this is going to be pretty. Do you?"

The rules governing the raising and spending of money for the recall — like the rules for several other aspects of the unprecedented campaign — remain unclear. The Oct. 7 election will be the first in which a California governor faces a recall vote, and many of the statutes governing the ballot are untested. ---

$50 Million more dollars will be wasted!!! Add in the cost of the recall election and the amount the other candidates will pay to run their campaigns and look at the waste of money. And they claim to be concerned about the budget deficit. BULLSHIT!!! GOHypocrits!!!

That was never about sex, just like this really isn't about Davis. Both are/were power grabs by the filthy scum known as the Republican Party.

political terrorism in order to overthrow democratic principles. Until the Repukes are thrown out and the lying conservative media are exposed, you can expect more of these attacks on legitimatly electd Democrats. The people are losing control.
