Follow the money, and it's a hard act to follow. He sure as hell isn't getting his money from small business and individuals, the way Reagan did. Corporate interests like these don't put up this kind of money without expecting something. My concern is that if Arnold gets tainted (which is happening as we speak), he'll end up coloring the Republican Party with him and conservatives will get painted with that broad brush for having foolishly supported him. My thanks to Amerigomag for the source data.

Arnold's Top 100 Donors


Arnold Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy for governor with a pledge that "I don't need to take any money from anybody" because "I have plenty of money myself." Arnold's about-face on his promise to accept no campaign contributions brought millions of dollars into his campaign chest. Below is a list of the "Top 100" donors to the various campaign committees that the Governor controls*. The data was compiled from public filings with the Secretary of State. Last updated 6/11/04

What do they think Arnold owes them?

Why do you claim that $12 million in campaign contributions can corrupt or buy a man worth hundreds of millions?
