...problem for both Dukakis and Bush is that campaigning in California, home of some of the nation's most expensive media markets, is extremely costly. Campaigns for Governor and Senator routinely cost $10 million or more per candidate. Neither presidential contender can afford to spend that much in a single state, even the nation's biggest.

A far more serious effect will be felt next January, when the new President discovers that his constituents don't know what he is all about...
