Not that it matters, because the vote passed anyway, but why would a Democrat vote against abolishing matching funds when inthe last election the Democratic candidate refused the matching funds in favor of accepting unresticted bequests. David Scott's president raised more money than any candidate before him, proving that the skill , experience or ability hold little sway over a person willing to contribute to the man on their side.
Doesn't make any sense at all, this is a vote that would have made him look concilliatory at the least, and fiscally prudent at most.
