I love it that Guiliani is suffering monetarily now. It was he that berated Ron Paul in the debates while not knowing anything about repercussions of foreign policy. Counting on big corporations, the RNC, and Florida cost him and I couldn't be happier. The fact is that the future of politics is (hopefully) having a message that resonates with the normal Americans and fundraising through small donations of the many, instead of large through the few. THAT is the main reason Obama is going to continue to raise money and win.

Sorry to be "that person", but I believe the word you're looking for is "lent", not "leant".

Thanks.

In terms of recovering campaign debt, at least Clinton has something to offer Obama. Her support is extremely important to Obama's campaign.

Giuliani, on the other hand, shit the bed so bad that even his endorsement is meaningless. Not only does he not hold an office, he doesn't even have any prospects.

I'm hard pressed to think of another politician who was generally well-known nationally at the beginning of a campaign (a frontrunner, even), but performed SO poorly that he is likely now out of politics forever.

And Clinton still has influence in government. Granted the Senate isn't as influential as the presidency, but those donations aren't a complete loss. I'm sure her donors will also get brownie points for helping pay off her debt.

I wonder if Rudy will run for Governor of NY.

He would not challenge Schumer for his senate seat. Hillary's seat in 4 years is too long in the future.
