"You make it sound like he is squandering his money. And I knwo for a fact that he's one of the most frugal people on the planet."

Maybe it sounds that way to you, but I said NO SUCH THING. I said fundRAISING.

So I will say it more clearly. McClintock's achille's heel is his FAILURE to raise enough money.

It brings into question, his overall political and management skill.

I think what ElkGroveDan meant is that McClintock can run a reasonable campaign on a much smaller budget than many other candidates need and that he knows how to find bargains to save money. Similarly, he demonstrates he had the ability to run government on a much smaller budget than the other candidates.

Hope I didn't misinterpret your meaning, Dan.
