Liberals have been touting public financing for decades.
All it would do is benefit incumbents and limit access to the people.
IMO, Government (taxpayers) shouldn’t pay people to run for office.

Agreed. But the important take-away point, in this particular instance, is: Juan is now flat-out doomed to be the "poor relation" in this race, all the way down to 11/05...

... unless, of course, those fabled, oft-bruited "moderate Democrats," independents and illegal aliens somehow manage to pick up a genuinely GARGANTUAN amount of fiscal slack on his behalf, between now and then. ;)
