LOS ANGELES — Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for governor in California, passed a milestone the other day, investing $119 million of her own money into her campaign, breaking a record held by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York.
But Ms. Whitman is the latest wealthy Californian to learn that it may take more than money to win an election here, particularly for a first-time candidate confronting a vast and convoluted electoral landscape. With a month to go until Election Day, Ms. Whitman is struggling against a Democrat, Jerry Brown, who, after spending most of his career in public office, had been seen by Republicans as the best opponent Ms. Whitman could have asked for, given voters’ frustration with the state’s dysfunctional government.
