While most Californians were busy this week stuffing their Thanksgiving turkeys, the Associated Press reported that the special interests who’ve been stuffing Governor Schwarzenegger’s campaign accounts since 2003 have earned Schwarzenegger a new and troubling title: "most prolific campaign fundraiser in California history."
 
Associated Press: "Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the most prolific campaign fundraiser in California history, taking in more than $125 million for his various political committees, according to an Associated Press review of fundraising records. In doing so, he has surpassed Gray Davis, the governor he ousted four years ago in a recall election that focused in large part on Davis' seemingly incessant fundraising. Schwarzenegger's political committees have taken in $125.8 million since he jumped into the gubernatorial recall campaign in August 2003. Davis took longer -- seven years -- to raise $120 million for two gubernatorial campaigns and to fight the recall effort against him."
