Second-tier GOP hopefuls lack cash

http://washingtontimes.com/national/20070417-104247-8109r.htm

Republicans’ presidential field may be wide, but this weekend’s fundraising numbers show it is not deep.

Other than Mitt Romney, Rudolph W. Giuliani and John McCain, no Republican raised $2 million or had $1 million cash on hand as of March 31, making it nearly impossible for them to challenge the top three candidates.

“At this point, there is no second tier in the Republican Party,” said one longtime campaign observer who spoke on the condition he not be named in order to give a straightforward assessment. “It’s really more of a first tier and a third tier.”
