I think Tom should debate Mr. S. on the 24th. Bad move on his part.
AFA the dollars are concerned, I'd accept $1M from EMILY's list if it were offered, and continue to vote on principle. They wouldn't offer it again, but why not use dollars from the Left to defeat them?

"[Gray] Davis received $100,000 each from Univision Chairman Jerry Perenchio, the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, Beverly Hills-based developer Casden Properties and screenwriter Stephen Bing. The governor's campaign also collected $50,000 or more from development, biotech, construction, investment, insurance, oil and cable television companies."
More interesting is the contribution from Jerry Perenchio,
currently one of Schwarzenegger's Advisors.
