Comments on What Mitt's Money Has Bought Him (Other Than Tears)

please do the math for us for giuliani.

please.

Mitt's learning you can't buy the election--er, at least not that directly.

Pastor Huck is learning Jesus loves him. (But apparently God hates the South voting on Super Tuesday and sent tornadoes...)

i hate chuck norris

Is anybody going to give Obama credit for being rather good at electoral math? His campaign has money, but not an infinite amount: the money and people he had were distributed quite well to net him the most delegates at the end of the night.

Is this not a precursor to how they would play in the general election?

Looks like Hillary is descending to Romney-esque depths:
Clinton Lent Campaign $5 Million, Considers More

This can only mean two things:

1. Hillary's in trouble.
2. Hillary's loaded.

god hates mormons.

Yeah. How come Obama is so much better at raising money? I thought Hillary was supposed to be some kind of jedi master at winning elections.

No it means Bill's loaded and Hill's in trouble.

@5: I think 1 AND 2 are both correct.

If that loan doesn't work, there's always the Chinese or the House of Saud.

I hear they have lots of money... and might like to have some influence.

Huckabee's money was by far the better investment, not just for the 20-1 delegate count per million, but for the fact that his showing yesterday all but guarantees he'll be offered McCain's VP slot.

I heard on NPR last week that Giuliani spent $50M and won one delegate.

I don't think that record for futility will ever be broken.

Good point, dw. Even Ron Paul got three times as many delegates.

Mormons are richer than baptists, but baptists outnumber mormons. And they're all worthless.

Giuliani's going from front-runner to $50 mil for one delegate is not just the worst political performance of all time, it's arguably the biggest failure ever in any field. It's like the Yankees losing 161 games next year. It's like every member of the cast of a Broadway show dying of a heart attack in the first ten minutes of opening night. It's like finding out your first girlfriend in high school is a serial killer. It's beautiful. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

This reminds me of one of Mudede's posts. Good work, Ryan.

Also Fnarf.

I dunno it seems like Huckabee has won a fairly good shot at a veepship, plus it establishes him as a player in Christianist circles. At the very least he could leverage it into some Christian talk show.
