Think about this for a second, and think of the resources that must have been dedicated to such a project:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman’s campaign is sending out about half a million copies of her 48-page policy booklet to households across California, most of them Republican, said Whitman press secretary Sarah Pompei.(SacBee)

That’s half a million copies. The postage alone costs several hundred thousand dollars. And then there’s the fact that publication of this thing probably costs quite a bit to print. It’s 48 pages in stunning color. That kind of print run plus postage is going to run you about a buck per copy (perhaps more).

But, don’t worry, the profligacy ends the day she becomes governor.  Then, she’ll really show how spending massive amounts of campaign cash can turn into a recipe for spending controls!
