know is how much did he bring in? >> just a few bucks. this time only about $6 million in about 18 hours. mind you, that's in addition to the $21 million that he picked up just two weeks earlier when he was in southern california. by the way, he wasn't alone. mitt romney was trolling the area, as well as john boehner, so they were all here this last week. >> the question always is how important is california to the campaign, and does it buy the state anything? >> well, i'll tell you one thing, in a word it's very important. this state is like a stretch trove. california has something like 12% of the national population. meanwhile, california has provided about 25% of the campaign cash he haus recommended. given california's very, very

blue color, we are blue, when it comes to our politics here, it doesn't play the same kind of thing for romney. still romney has managed to collect about 10% of his campaign war chess right here. what does it get us? maybe it gets them a lot of money to go other places to make their case. that's what it's about. we are a printing press for these candidates. >> so basically we help them win in other places. so let's talk about the independence expenditures committee, and of course the pac money as well. what kind of money are we talking about? >> incredulous, a mammoth amount just from four years ago, we're talking about huge changes. all of this, by the way, thanks to that incredibly important citizens united decision that came down from the supreme court a couple years ago. because of that decision, corporations, unions, individuals, anyone can spend an

unlimited amount money on campaigns, as long as they do it in a couple selected ways, and you put all the monies together, so far all the candies and their surrogates for the democrats, $550 million for the republicans $450 million. so together a billion, a billion dollars that have been raised so far. it's only may, and we have a long way to go. >> what's the danger from all of this money? of course there's always concern about how this plays out in terms of influence. >> yeah, yeah. we're talking about a billion total in 2008 to $2ably on, right? your question is a good one. what does it mean to all of us? we're in uncharted territory. there's so much money awash, we just don't know. some individuals in isolated cases have promised to write checks for $100 million, from a

single individual. more than one case of that. that's more than the candidates can raise, you talk about $6 million here or $21 million -- or the parties can raise. these are influential individuals, so we don't know how the dynamic will play out? one thing is for sure, no matter how you look at it, this would be the most expensive campaign in history. it will be interesting to see how it sorts out. >> i think it will sort out with a lot of time on our dvrs and stuff in our mailboxes. you can always get more anytime nbc bay area prop zero is his blog. a sky-diving grandma get more than she bargains for.
