In all the back and forth on the merits of candidates trying to buy their way to the Democratic nomination, consider that none of that money goes to potential voters; that would be bribery, wouldn’t it? Every penny goes to the local economies where the caucuses and primaries occur, e.g., housing of candidate and staff, security and food; not to mention rental of venues, giveaways, transportation (to and from the contested area and while on the ground), lawn signs/banners and last but not least: devising, preparing, reviewing, presenting and the all important analysis of the radio, TV, print and social media messages that this money is spent on. Whether the candidate is successful or not, that money is spent in the community. I can’t wait for the money to really start pouring in to California in general and San Mateo County in particular.
