Take the Money & Run: L.A. Gives Most Money to Meg Whitman, Oakland for Brown

When it comes to in-state gubernatorial campaign donations, where's the money coming from? USC's Neon Tommy looked into that and found that for the first half of 2010, Attorney General Jerry Brown saw a majority -- 45% -- of donations come from individuals, businesses and groups located in Oakland, where he served as mayor from 1999 to 2007.
As for former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, who has mostly self-funded her campaign, breaking records, most of her money came from Los Angeles (but more people donated smaller donations from San Diego).
Recent polls have indicated anything from Brown leading Whitman to them tied to Whitman leading Brown.
