Follow the money
California has been a huge contributor to the campaigns of 2008 presidential hopefuls. So huge, in fact, that it’s No. 1 in the nation for individual contributions and No. 1 for Republican contributions (although those made up only 35.8 percent of the state total). Here’s a look at the just how much money we’ve donated—and to whom—thus far.

| Mitt Romney | $6,582,749 | $13,730 |
| Rudolph W. Giuliani | $5,170,327 | $750 |
| John Edwards | $4,087,972 | $7,395 |
| John McCain | $3,784,726 | $941 |
