There’s not a lot of love lost between Meg Whitman<\/a> and Steve Poizner. That much is clear.  However, they’re making it really clear with how much money they are spending beating the crap out of each other. While Poizner’s $1.5 million spent at this point is pretty high, it’s really not all that shocking.  On the other, Whitman’s $6 million is quite the total, and puts her on a pace to make Al Checchi’s $40 million<\/a> look like chump change.<\/p>\n

The fun part of all this, is cruising through some of the expenses, which the campaigns have each helpfully itemized for their opponents.  Poizner’s really isn’t that much fun, but I’ll get some more deets and post them over the flip. But as for Whitman, where’s she spending it? Well, there was $100K for private jets, $10 K for Wolfgang Puck, $2.1 Million in consulting, and nearly $1 million for internet consulting.<\/p>\n

To say that number is huge is an understatement. That amount of money would fund a decent presidential campaign’s internet department. To spend that in 6 months, is rather astonishing.<\/p>\n

Yet, despite spending those big bucks, she has less than 4,000 supporters on Facebook<\/a> and  3,000 followers on Twitter<\/a>. It’s rather pathetic, given the numbers Newsom has. Heck, even Brown has that many supporters<\/a> and he’s spent less than $250 grand TOTAL in the last 6 months.<\/p>\n

Keep it up eMeg. The GOP political consultancy is depending on you<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
