Romney & McCain both look like they’re spending money like a drunken sailor!

Odd that CNN considers Ron Paul a second-tier candidate when he shows such obvious growth in fundrasing. This article is a humorous microcosm of what kind of financial leadership to expect from each candidate. Paul spends only 20% of his quarterly income while others spend more than they broght in, just like they do when they are looting the treasury for their pet pork-barrel projects.

I like the way the writer of this article thinks…in terms of analyzing all numbers.

The numbers are indeed telling. I think if we look at the way the candidates manage money in a campaign, we will get some indication of their approach to finances in government. Some burn through money faster than they get it, some spend most of their money and count on receiving at least as much in the next quarter. Others (few) plan carefully and save enough to make sure they have money at the end.

We can consider what it is we want in a president, in that regard.

Oh, and as an aside, the title does seem strange based on the fact that 1. Only $1.9 million of McCain’s cash on hand can be used in the in his bid for the Republican nomination. 2. If all his debts were due immediately, he would have only $250,000.

Debts don’t sound like much of a “warchest”, and it’s a long way until the General Election.
