Historically for anything below governor, you're looking at spending $300,000 (for the primary and general election) at the low end and $1 million at the high end. The fact he has put over twice the high-end amount just in the primary, that shows a lot where campaigns are headed.

I worked in L.A. for 25 years, ... I played oboe, English horn, piccolo, flute, clarinet. But what happens when you do that is you spend your practice time on instruments you are weaker on to make them stronger. The instruments you are strong on become weaker. At some point, you end up in a mush of mediocrity. I was working for quantity, and I wanted to get back to my primary interest, which was to play jazz on the saxophone.

Yet even the new pyramid which makes more recommendations about quantities of food, exercise, and allows for individual differences—among other things—has also been criticized as insufficient.] It's clear that we need to rebuild the pyramid from the ground up, ... not just tip it on its side and dress it up with new colors.
Walter Willett
