Former Lt. Gov. makes suspicious loans to his Congressional campaign

by Brian Leubitz

You would assume that Abel Maldonado would have preferred to be lapping up the nothingness that Gavin Newsom is currently enjoying.  But that LG race didn't turn out like he would have liked, so he's off to a different campaign, the new 24th Congressional.

One of several Republicans hoping to challenge incumbent Rep. Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara, Maldonado has dropped big money into his campaign, retrieved it quickly and then dropped it back in again.

The rapid cycling of money, timed to fundraising deadlines, could appear like a way to inflate campaign reports and demonstrate political viability. Or, as Maldonado's campaign consultants say, it could be simple prudence.

Yeah the revolution starts now
