Cheap Shots
Georgy has this to say on Arnie:
Arnold said he'd spend up to 20 million of his own money, though his staffer said he'd spend whatever it takes (since money is no object in the household of this self proclaimed populist candidate who understands the "people")
She then goes on to say that if Arnie wins, he'll be getting it pretty cheaply, because he's spending the least per vote.
But, if this was her she was talking about, she would surely be pointing out the low cost per vote as a sign of being "independent of money." Instead, since it's an opponent, she claims that his willingness to spend his own money is a sign of failure to understand the "little people."
But Arnie's self-provided wealth actually gives him that "clean elections" edge which Georgy so vociferously proclaims. Because Arnie's money is all his own, he isn't going to be beholden to special interest groups and supporters, like the more traditional campaigners are.
