Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani President Campaign Money Burn Rate Is Important
Written by: BayouBuzz Staff Buzz Right Back----E-Mail a Friend----Print Page
While Mitt Romney leads the Republican presidential primary with his raising $20.7 in the first quarter, he has spent almost 13 million dollars so far. Rudy Giuliani, who has raised substantially less, 13.8 million has spent approximately 5.6 million. Which means that without counting any of the money being raised during this year, Republican Romney has only 7 million in the bank while Giuliani has a little over 9 million. The numbers are based upon Federal Election Commission filings.
Without doubt, Romney has been forced to spend to get his name recognition out to America while Giuliani has more universal awareness, primarily due to 9/11 and the perception that he handled the tragedy effectively.
However, the key for these candidates and others is not who has the most money, but, the dollar per vote in key states such as Iowa, New Hampshire and the first line states during the primaries. In 2004, Democrat Howard Dean was a money machine and was the man to beat until the “squeal heard around the world” which made his campaign drop like a rock.
The money factor goes to the issue of invincibility and momentum that a candidate can carry a nation. Still, the key question under the current system is whether the voters in the early primaries will be persuaded by the money raised or the win ability”of the candidates.”
Could this be the GOP Ticket? Giuliani - Romney or better yet The Rudy - Mitt machine

Old political alliances break in 2008 race
JIM KUHNHENN - The Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Not long ago, Washington lobbyist Wayne Berman and California investor Tom Tellefsen shared the same goal: Raise as much money as possible for George W. Bush. Now they are in opposite presidential camps; Berman with John McCain and Tellefsen with Mitt Romney.
Not long ago, Washington lawyer Gregory Craig and supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle were Bill Clinton loyalists. Craig is now raising money for Barack Obama while Burkle gathers cash for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
They are the bundlers, the fundraisers, the well-connected linchpins of a politician's financial operation. Collectively, they and scores of others helped raise $130 million in presidential primary money last quarter by spinning through their Rolodexes and scrolling through their computerized contact lists.
But with Republican and Democratic presidential fields of multiple candidates, some past alliances have split. Hillary Clinton has lost some old Clinton confederates to Obama. And McCain is building a fundraising team around the very same Bush fundraisers who worked against him in the 2000 presidential campaign.
