Rudy Has Money Trouble - Pulls out of Michigan

He pulls out of Michigan.

Asks his staff to work without pay.

I would never ever vote for Rootie for president, but if he wants to come and run for mayor of Detroit, I’ll happily send him a few bucks.

On the other hand that might put him in mind of running for governor at some point and Homie ain’t down with that at all.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

LOL! Well put.

[snowsislander]

I think that Mr. Giuliani is the most leftwing GOP candidate that I have seen in a long time; I believe that his positions are more closely aligned with the Democrats and their leftward slant than they are with any significant fraction of the Republican base.

I don't like to imagine what type of platform that Mr. Giuliani's candidacy could have produced.

I hope that he does leave the race soon; he has done very poorly so far for what the MSM has insisted on labeling as a "top tier" Republican candidacy.

[chuckles]

Well Rooty is short of money, McCain is short of money, Huckabee has no money, money does Mitt no good.

Maybe Fred does have a chance.

[ASA Vet]

Romney as a favorite son

Few here under age 60 even remember George Romney. Those who are older only remember Ramblers

Spend My Own Money? Whatta ya Nutz?
I Had To Scam A Lot Of People For All This.

Did you happen to miss the Demonrats on Fox yesterday? They are announcing that this is what they are going to do.

There was also a thread running here yesterday.

Sorry, I will vote for Fred or Hunter, so please refrain from calling me a Democrat. However, your boy Mike used to be one and has supported many.

That would make you more suspect, thats just my opinion.

[barryg]

Bob Dole and Mike Huckabee and John McCain are all more liberal than Rudy.

He doesn’t need people in Michigan, only in Florida.

[stockstrader]

I don't live in any of the states that have held primaries yet,,,,,however, the ONLY Presidential commercials I have seen are Rudy's!!! I have seen several of his commercials on FOX (including a few during the debates).

Even with those commercials and his incredible name recognition that most candidates could only dream of,,,and millions and millions of dollars couldn't buy,,,,he continues to tank nationally.

He made 40 trips to NH,,,and spent $5 million there too--with no result!

No wonder he's cutting back!!!

[taildragger]

Chuckles,

Mitt's get tight with his Cashola. It would not look good for this super-businessman spending hundreds of dollars per-head-per-vote.

I was unaware that McCain and Huck were starting to feel the pinch.

IF that is so, go over to Fred's site, He just picked up another 1/2 a mil in about 3 days. A bit of wind in the sails.

Sounds like Rudy is gearing for a fight on Super-Tuesday.

I am curious who may drop before then.

[stockstrader]

He’d probably endorse someone that shares his stance on a number of the issues. Like Clinton.

LOL....

When it comes to social issues,,both candidates are 'pro-abortion, pro-amnesty, pro-sanctuary city, anti-gun, gay rights crusaders',,,the biggest difference is that Rudy's has a bigger 'train wreck' of a personal life!!!

[stayathomemom]

I watched the Lou Gordon show on which George Romney made his fatal “I was brainwashed” comment. It took him right out of the presidential campaign. I’m 51.

[ASA Vet]

You’re one of the “few” I guess. Maybe I should have said age 50?

[Brilliant]

He’s running round the clock TV ads here in Florida.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

My “boy” is the same as yours, Hunter. I just called your method Democrat. Aren’t they the ones that always say the results they don’t like are skewed? And here you are all ready with that charge before one vote has been cast. Maybe you can start planning a lawsuit.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Huckabee is my second choice. I don’t like Thompson.

[advertising guy]

ever notice Rudy is always on the defensive ?????

he always answers some gotcha question with,,,,,”well, the reality is”

[Robbin]

Nope, it’s pathetic when a multi-millionare writes the check himself. You should leave and die by your donations, like all candidates. If you can’t write a check to a candidate for $20 million, why should a candidate be allowed to write one to himself for 20 million. It’s BUYING the office. Rudy is doing what all cash strapped candidates are doing!
I like RINO Mitt less than I like Rino Rudy because Mitt writes huge checks to make up for what he can’t raise. Plus Mitt will change his positions to suit the voters while Rudy is just plain old liberal Rudy. I will never vote for either one, but I respect Rudy more.

[Robbin]

NOT TRUE, OBAMA ISN’T ON THE TICKET IN MICHIGAN!
there will be a huge cross over vote in Michigan.

[tortdog]

>Nope, it’s pathetic when a multi-millionare writes the check himself. You should leave and die by your donations, like all candidates.

Yeah. Rich people make me sick. We should raise taxes on the rich scum so that they don’t have any money left to spend on their own campaigns.

GET YOUR MONEY FROM SOMEONE ELSE, ROMNEY! STOP SPENDING YOUR OWN!

Just makes me sick. Bunch of rich no-do-gooder-look-how-much-money-i-maders.

Signed,

Wishing I had it too.
