California Primaries

[The Duke]

Angelides has the edge, because he can self finance.  CA is so huge that money often proves the decisive factor.

Are you confusing Angelides with Westly?  I don't know how much dough Angelides has, but Westly--founder of e-bay--is absolutely loaded.

I didn't know Westly was rich, but Angelides is worth about $10 million.

EDIT: Looked it up, Westly was CEO of Ebay, but not the founder.

What? He's poorer than both his primary opposition of Westly and Arnold, who are both worth around $100 million. Typical Republican strategy - attack the poorest of the 3 guys for being rich.

Attack?  Wtf are you talking about, I've done no such thing.

WTF?

I see only analysis, not attacks here.

Though FWIW, there have been more than a few occations where the less financed candidate/proposition wins.

Such brilliant analysis. Someone worth $10 million running in the primary against someone worth $100 million, and then would have the general election against someone worth $100 million clearly has the advantage due to self-financing? That's not analysis. Either it was an attack, or John Ford can't make a reasonable argument.

I was referring only to the primary, making Schwarzenegger's worth irrelevant, and I did not know that Westly was worth $100 million.  So no, its neither of the two things you mentioned.
