That leaves Mark Warner the biggest individual player in the race for governor.
He has a record donor base, with 15 thousand donors, but at almost 4-point-7 milllion dollars so far, he's by far his own best friend.
His number two donor, though, is Virginians for Warner -- a group of prominent Republicans who've defected to the Democrat this year.
Mark Earley's biggest donor is the Republian National Committee, chaired by Governor Jim Gilmore, and ponying up 3-point-3 million for Earley this year.
