Calif Costs A Lotta Money

As we’ve noted, Carly Fiorina has rocketed into a seemingly commanding lead over the last couple weeks in the California GOP senate primary — largely based on a big saturation TV buy, much of which ran while her main competitor, former Rep. Tom Campbell wasn’t on the air at all. But in the final stretch to the June 8th primary, Campbell actually has more money on hand than Fiorina.

Late Update: Or make that, Campbell had more money on hand until Fiorina loaned her campaign another $1.9 million just after the reporting deadline. See our report above for the update.
