There is no such thing as legislating a 'clean' - if by clean you mean money access controlled - election. All it does is move the graft from end source to beginning source.

Money is the mother's milk of politics.

All this would do is put some politicians on the public dole: but only the ones that calculate it as an advantage.

The issue here isn't 'fairness' but simply another way to scam the system.

Believe me, every single one of these 'campaign reform' schemes is just that: a scheme devised by some group that has calculated the political advantage of such a system.

Look at your supporters: Democratic leaning organizations. That tells the tale. I'll give you a way to prove me wrong: find an organization or two on your 'pro' list that actively supports the Governator. Certainly, a 'balanced' agenda here would find across the political spectrum support.

Look at the national campaign finance reform law. The only real Republican support was McCain and THAT is expiation for him being one of the 'Keating Five' Senators that used graft in such a way as to trigger the S&L scandal of the '80's.

It seems sort of hypocritical of Democrats to support putting rich people on the public dole: but then, political advantage outweighs hypocrisy, right?

Good Post Tim. I'm voting NO on 89.

And McCain's campaign finance reform bill was the reason I won't vote for him if he runs for prez.

I won't vote for him, either. If he is the '08 nominee, Roy will be happy 'cause the Libertarians will get another vote.

Hillary will likely be happy, as well. . . Although, if Condi is the VP for McCain, I might vote for him just out of triangulation for Condi's eventual Presidency.
