"Every individual candidate for public office, has an equal right to have their agenda printed in a recall election pamphlet, along with other candidates. No secretary of state, has the power to deny any candidate equal treatment under law"

They WERE given equal treatment under the law - McClintock freely CHOSE to give up his spot in the election pamphlet in return for being allowed to raise more then 6 Mil.

Very much like Davis - He made a bad decision, then when it is revealed how badly he screwed up - blames it on someone else.

Obviously, you didn't read the article.

He did not realize that by checking "I do not accept the voluntary expenditure ceiling" the proposition's rules barred him from filing a candidate statement in the voter's guide.
When McClintock discovered the consequences of his choice, he amended his form and refiled it one day before the Aug. 9 deadline. But the secretary of state's office refused to accept it, contending the rules prohibit amendments, although this is not indicated anywhere on the form.

>>>He made a bad decision, then when it is revealed how badly he screwed up - blames it on someone else.

The McClintock camp made a mistake and figured they caught it in time. It's not that big an issue, but clearly indicates how desperate California's liberal Democrat majority is, to keep a conservative off the agenda pamphlet.

Only a liberal would deny a conservative, equal treatment under law.
