Going For Broke
(3 of 3)
California holds dangers all its own, mainly its potential virtually to bankrupt either side. Neither camp has much organization on the ground there, where it takes a lot of money to build one--as much as $10 million, according to political consultant Bill Carrick. Bradley's senior adviser there, Gale Kaufman, is trying to construct one that deploys volunteers, using e-mail to rally supporters and keep the momentum building, and offsets Gore's advantage of having the labor unions.
Last week Bradley announced he would have $20 million in his war chest as of Feb. 1; the Gore camp claims a similar figure for itself. That will be crucial for a state like California, in which it takes at least $1 million a week to reach television viewers five times in the state's four major markets. "Ten million dollars is not a helluva lot of money out here," says California Democratic Governor Gray Davis' top political strategist, Garry South. Davis' gubernatorial campaign spent $1 million just in the last 48 hours of its race. Bradley has already spent considerable time on the coast throughout the fall--and among Democrats, Gore still leads him better than 2 to 1.
