A *combined* $23 million?
That's not in the same league as the over $50 million of his own money
that Sanchez has spent alone.
As for the whole criminal action thing, yeah, a lot of mud has been
slung in that area. And I've heard a lot of debate as to whether
politicians ought to be using police video of their opponents in
commercials. (I've seen one featuring police video of Perry, an another
featuring police video of state senator Gonzalo Barrientos. I think
it's tacky, myself, and reflects poorly on the character of the one
running the ad.)
