SC Cash | The Republicans
Published April 16th, 2007 in Presidential.
So which Republican candidate for President raked in the SC cash? Here are the numbers:
Mitt Romney - $174,525
John McCain - $127,565
Rudy Giuliani - $120,650
Duncan Hunter - $18,000
Sam Brownback - $7,612
Ron Paul - $2,083
Mike Huckabee - $1,350
Tommy Thompson - $1,000
Tom Tancredo - $850
We were pretty shocked by these numbers. The press has made a big deal about John McCain soaking up the big SC Bush donors including John Rainey and Eddie Floyd. We really thought McCain would wipe the floor with both Romney and Giuliani.
Having SC native Shelly Carson as the national deputy finance director as well as Drea Byars here on the ground must really be helping Romney bring in the dough. Big dog donors Barry Wynn and Gayle Averyt and staffers Karen Floyd and Eaddy Roe Willard have Giuliani near equal to McCain. The rest of the field is way behind.
I’m a little surprised at how well Hunter did compared to other “better known” candidates like Brownback and Huck.
Campbell must be doing to Huckabee’s what he did to his own….
Its not MIke Campbell’s fault its his lispy little assistant Adam Piper. That fool couldnt get a ham sandwich elected for lunch!
