Recall: The campaign

Dion Nissenbaum, another writer, who ought to have a weblog, has analysis of how the shortened campaign might play out. Money quote:

Those with a plan then need money to get the message out -- and new state campaign finance rules will make it hard to raise the cash. Donors will be able to give no more than $20,000 each to candidates, so the top contenders may have to rely on their own personal fortunes.

In a twist, however, Davis and his allies will be able to raise unlimited amounts of cash because the new political reform laws don't apply to campaign committees set up to fight the recall.
