And then there is I am as rich as a queen corner of the GOP that thinks it can buy the election: CA-Gov: Queen Meg goes in for another $20 million by Dante Atkins Tue Jun 15, 2010 at 03:22:04 PM PDT Perhaps the best argument for campaign finance reform that anyone could ever make is coming out of California right now. Here's a snippet of the latest campaign finance disclosure for billionaire CEO Meg Whitman's campaign for Governor: Yes, you read that correctly. That is Meg Whitman dumping yet another $20 million of her own vast personal fortune into her campaign to literally buy the Governorship of California. And it's not just campaign finance reform advocates that should be outraged by this. If you believe that our democracy shouldn't be controlled by which plutocrat is willing to expend more of their immeasurable personal wealth, you ought to be concerned by the direction that we're heading in. This is especially true in a state like California, where money for media is still the most effective way to win statewide.
