Man, the Republican "Top Tier" is doing HORRIBLE!!!

The Dems are kicking their ass! I guess if you keep stradling the war whore not many people are going to support you.

I am so curious to see the official numbers for RP.

How are these guys spending their money? I've seen some Romney television ads, but none from McCain or Giuliani. Is it all going to staff salaries?

[DavyDuke17]

Wow, Giuliani has a lot of money but not really that many actual donors compared to how much money he has. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I calculated the average donation to Giuliani was $600. Apparently he doesn't have many people giving $10-$25. I would have to think that most of his donations were for the maximum. I would suspect this means that his Q3 donations will drop off considering most of his supporters have already given the maximum.

I read an article a while back that said something on the lines that Billery had ordered a private jet to take her out to the west coast. But when she got to the airport it was only like an 8 seater and she made them get here like a 24 seater.The company agreed on the grounds she paid for both planes. It said the cost was like $140,000. Hillary thought the smaller plane didn't make her look important enough. One story on where they spend these millions Ann. P.S. I think she might of been daydreamin of ol' "Air Force One" lol

Lots of useful info on Q1 financials at opensecrets (and a good overview of the totals for Q2 that have been released so far)...you might like this page for instance: http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/donordems.asp?filter=A&sortby=S

How does Biden have -10%?

[Avalon]

How does Biden have -10%? I think he donated $200 out of his campaign's funds to everyone else's campaign in hopes of winning their support.


Just kidding :D...I noticed that myself...I have no idea and don't feel like digging at the FEC site. Sleepy time for me.
