Giuliani's $59 million delegate

Email|Link|Comments (9) Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor January 31, 2008 05:49 PM

Several of the Republican presidential candidates -- some still in the running, some not -- are filing their campaign finance reports.

Rudy Giuliani, who dropped out on Wednesday after collecting a grand total of one delegate, reported raising $14.2 million during the last three months of 2007, and $59.2 million total. He had $16.6 million in the bank at the end of the year, but likely spent it on his ill-fated campaign in Florida.

John McCain, who won Giuliani's endorsement, reported to the Federal Election Commission that he raised $6.8 million during the fourth quarter, bringing his campaign total to $37.5 million. McCain ended the year with $3 million in the bank, but also a $4.5 million debt, according to his FEC filing.

Mike Huckabee, who is still in the race, reported bringing in $6.6 million during the fourth quarter, bringing his total to $9 million. He reported having only $651,000 in cash on hand as of Dec. 31.

Fred Thompson, who dropped out earlier this month after a dismal showing in South Carolina, said he raised $8.9 million during the last three months of 2007, and a total of $21.7 million. He had $7.1 million in the bank at year's end.

Forgot to include Ron Paul who raised raised nearly $20 million during the 4th Quarter of 2007

... and how much did Ron Paul bring in? Over $20 million. Stop with the bias!

What about Ron Paul, who is still in the race, has not dropped out?

I knew from day #1 this wouldn't end well for Rudy, but I had no idea it would be this bad. Rightly or wrongly, on Sept 10th, he was a Mayor who overstayed his welcome and, with each day, the bad further overshadowed the good. Rightly or wrongly, after Sept 11, he became "America's Mayor" and a national hero. Not only that, he had plenty of job offers and was getting up to 6 figures for speaking engagements. But that wasn't enough. He needed to become President. It's the biggest mistake he ever made.

He forgot that the process is murder and few candidates walk away unscathed. Even the winners usually look bad. In this case, Saint Rudy lost his halo and spent 59 million bucks to get only ONE delegate! Meanwhile two unknowns, Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee, thrashed him on much smaller budgets. Rightly or wrongly, Rudy is now the biggest Presidential Primary loser of all time and can kiss the cushy jobs and speaking tours goodbye. His only prayer of salvaging any of his past glory is if McCain wins, gives him a job, and they both do well in them. Even if that happens, the halo is still gone forever. This is what happens when you get greedy.
