Here are two short partial quotes from the version of this story posted in that DemocRAT "tip sheet," the L.A. Times:

"...State auditors say the no-bid contract--touted by Oracle and its business partner, Logicon, as a way to save the state more than $100million over 10 years--could cost the state $6 million to $41 million more than it would spend otherwise..."
"...Republican candidate for governor Bill Simon Jr. has made an issue of the $25,000 donation Oracle gave Gov. Gray Davis several days after the contract was signed..."

Thanks for YOUR spin, L.A. Times!
