This morning’s CalBuzz post<\/a> features a story on the debate of whether Gavin Newsom can raise money from people who gave him money for his Governor campaign for the LG campaign.  Hmm…good question.  <\/p>\n

Of course, Garry South, who is consulting for Hahn’s campaign after bleeding Gavin’s Gov. campaign dry, thinks that he can’t tap that same maxed-out donor base. By the by, very interesting that South was denigrating the LG position from his pricey perch at Gavin’s Gov campaign, and now seems to be all about the Numero Dos gig.  Interesting.<\/p>\n

The Exec. Dir of the FPPC, Roman Porter, believes that he can raise money from these same donors, on the theory that it is a different race. I’m inclined to agree when given this language:<\/p>\n
