On the California recall, the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Democratic frontrunner Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante is raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for his campaign by taking advantage of a campaign finance law loophole. Bustamante is asking donors to give to his 2002 reelection campaign which is not, according to the Times, subject to the same cap on donations that new campaigns must observe. On Sunday this allowed him to receive a $300,000 check from a San Diego-area Indian tribe with casino interests.
