PRESTOPUNDIT -- "It's a team sport, baby!"

What is wrong with this picture?

There was no limit on donations in the 2002 gubernatorial election. But in the recall race, only Davis — as the target of the recall — can accept unlimited donations. Candidates to replace Davis are subject to a cap of $21,200 per donor. The donation limits favor wealthy candidates who are allowed to donate an unlimited amount to their own campaigns.

From the LA Times. Could the perversity of such restrictions on free speech rights be made any more obvious? Of course, the candidate most harmed by this assault on free speech is Tom McClintock. Folks can help even the playing field by sending a check to Tom via his web site.

I'll likely support Riordan if he enters the race, but it's just wrong that non-millionaires simply don't have a chance in any race for governor in the state of California.
