Has a 900-number re-vote been suggested? |

Limit incoming calls to FL and MI area codes.
Charge 50 cents per call. All money to go to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

3. Abused to great Democratic advantage. |
|
Great advantage as a fundraiser, a high-profile contest dominating the headlines for the 48-hour window it was open, and an excellent indicator of how the vote would go in the general election as between the two leading candidates.
Think of it as an In-Trade marketplace writ large. With proportional award of delegates of course.
Who abuses it? Republicans. Thanks for the 50 cents. Obama and Clinton campaigns and supporters? Thanks for the multiple 50 cents now transferred to Senate campaigns.
