The primaries are coming

On June 8 we will be voting in state and local primary elections. 2 elections to be watching are the California run of republican candidates Whitman and poysner. Poysner is more to the right of Whitman and so is less of a viable candidate. But I'd like to see Whitman spend 64 million dollars of her own money to lose the election. It seems wrong that there are contribution limits on public funds but a candidate can spend as much of their own money as they'd like. Makes me wonder why she wants it so much.
