$100,000 A Day
When semi-annual campaign finance reports came out earlier this month, there was a lot of buzz about how not only how much money Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger had raised… but also about how little of it he had left.
Times have changed.
The latest campaign contribution information shows that the governor's busy fundraising schedule has paid off. Between June 30 (the date of those semi-annual reports) and today, Schwarzenegger's California Recovery Team had reported contributions totaling about $4.8 million.
That works out to about an average of $100,000 a day.
If you look back at the same committee's fundraising activity between January 1 and June 30, you find an average of about $46,000 a day. And the pace could likely intensify with six straight days of "grip and grin" events, beginning tonight in San Bernardino and later heading east to New Jersey and Boston.
