Quinn, Rauner Raise $58 Million In Governor's Race

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The tight race for Illinois governor is breaking all state records for campaign fundraising and spending.

State filings show Gov. Pat Quinn and challenger Bruce Rauner have had at least $58 million to spend on the general election so far.

That's about $20 million more than Quinn and Republican Bill Brady spent on the 2010 general election.

A campaign finance expert says the amount of spending shows how much national interest there is in the race.
