SACRAMENTO (AP) -- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the most prolific campaign fundraiser in California history.
In doing so, Schwarzenegger 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 more than $125 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.
The money has been rolling in to Schwarzenegger's campaign accounts even though he suggested that he would rely on his own fortune to pay for his campaigns.
