California Insurance Commissioner and candidate for the GOP nomination for Governor, Steve Poizner, has announced that he'll donate another $15 million of his own fortune to float his flagging Gubernatorial campaign making himself his biggest contributor.

Once the transfer is complete, Mr. Poizner will have donated a total of just over $19 million of his own cash to his campaign. And it should be noted that this is being termed a donation, not a loan.

Let's be clear, though, Poizner is not the only major candidate for governor that is using his own fortune to fund his race. Chief opponent Meg Whitman has loaned about $15 million of her own money to her campaign, as well. It is expected that she will dip into her own pocket even more as the race rolls on.

Steve has a problematic history on taxes. He has supported high taxes in the past, but now he's signed the no tax pledge. So, who knows what to believe?
