The sum rivals the amount raised and spent by the entire field of candidates in the 2002 governor's race. If Schwarzenegger succeeds, the money raised — along with tens of millions of dollars that Democrats are likely to spend — would shatter state and national campaign finance records. --snip-- Asked if the governor's ambitious fundraising goal this year might not fuel further attacks, Stutzman replied: "Whether you like it or not,...
