Democratic candidates out raised Republicans by $30 million this quarter. But when it came to spending the funds, the GOP candidates spent like the foolish money wasters that they are.
Barack Obama, Hillary and Edwards have all reported excellent cash-on-hand numbers.
Obama has $34 million on hand for the primaries, just edging out Hillary's $33 million on hand for the primaries. John Edwards places a distant third with $12 million — an amount that would have been more than impressive four years ago! [Hat tip TMP]
As far as spending during the last quarter:
Mr. Romney spent more than $20 million
[Altogether, Romney has burned through $31.8 million in the first half of the year.]
Mr. McCain spent $13 million
Mr. Obama spent $16 million
Mrs. Clinton spent $12.5 million
Giuliani spent $11 million [not counting the almost free (for him not us) rides he got on corporate jets.]
One bright spot for the Republicans:
Ron Paul has over $2 million cash on hand.
So who are we going to trust to get us out of this fiscal crisis that the GOP has put us in by wasting all of our money on totally misguided war and foolish $100 Billion Missile Defense Maginot lines? Hmmm....
