You gotta just shake your head when a superrich candidate can throw $2.5 million into a campaign, after already kicking in $15 million, and still not come anywhere close to the pile of dollars laid down by a super-megarich opponent.
But that's the case in California, where the Los Angeles Times reports that gubernatorial hopeful Steve Poizner has now thrown $17.7 million into his Republican primary race against Meg Whitman.
The latest polling shows Poizner gaining on Whitman, who had been the early leader.
Whitman, the newspaper reports, has self-contributed to the tune of $59 million.
