Senate candidates spend millions to unseat Boxer

May 18, 2010 | California Watch

It's not as pricey as the governor's race, but California's crowded race to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer hasn't been cheap, either. Boxer and her four Republican rivals dropped more than $8 million between January 2009 and the end of March, with the biggest spending yet to come.

Thanks to the Federal Election Commission, it is now easier than ever to see exactly how the candidates spend their money. Did you know, for example, that Tom Campbell has taken enough trips on Southwest Airlines to earn more than two free flights? That Carly Fiorina has spent more than $1 million on consultants? Or that you could probably send your kids to college on the amount Chuck DeVore paid for website services? It's all in here. Take a look:

WHY DON'T WE EVER SEE WHERE BOXER GET'S HER MONEY FROM ON THIS WEB SITE?? WHY WAS HER SPENDING AND COSTS NOT MENTIONED??? OH I FORGOT- just one more artical by the loony left trying to keep in power and office a worthless INCUMBANT! Slam the other side, twist the facts and DON'T BOTHER TO MENTION ANYTHING about the other side! Great Job once again on Media Bias in California toward libral democrat candidates like Boxer
