Has anyone totaled the money spent on campaigns this year?

I can only imagine the obscene figure, especially in light of all the hardship so many are facing.

Just with the Whitman and Fiorina campaigns it's obscene; I'd love to see a grand total thus far, wouldn't you? Then again, maybe we wouldn't.

I don't know if the tables to which these two links lead are accurate as far as providing a comprehensive picture, but good grief....soooooo much money.

We need campaign finance reform YESTERDAY. :(
