Politics: Meg Whitman Spending Hits $163m

Arnold Schwarzenegger won in 2006 after spending about $30 million.

California GOP gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman spent almost $23 million in the first 16 days of October, bringing her total to $163 million, according to a campaign finance disclosure filed Thursday.

Whitman still trails Democrat Jerry Brown by 8 percentage points, according to a Public Policy Institute of California poll released earlier this week.

Brown spent $14.6 million during the first 16 days of the month, more than half of the $25.3 million his campaign has spent in total.
