Dean to propose $250 campaign limit:

"MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean wants to lower the limit of individual campaign contributions from $2,000 to $250, part of a new focus on policy ideas aimed at rescuing his battered candidacy..."
What do people think of this idea? The article says McCain used it. But isn't this more in line with Jerry Brown and the "We the People Campaign" who actually implemented a policy of taking no more than $100 per donor in 1992. I'm not sure it helped Jerry, though I think he won at least one state.
I assume this is for a future race, ie, I assume Dean would try to make this law should he become President. But still it is interesting to see this idea recycled. One of Brown's better ones (though I'm not sure who the real originator was.)
Dean is still trying to stimulate political discourse in a meaningful way.
