WHICH GOP WHORE PROMISED THE MOST ACCESS TO HIS ASS IN THE QUARTER JUST ENDED?

>


And the winner is-- whore of the quarter-- the man who made the most money by capitalizing on the 9/11 tragedy, Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani raked in $17 million this quarter beating out Romney, who hauled in the most last quarter but only managed $14 million this time, and the hapless McCain, who only raised twenty-seven dollars and thirty-five cents and had to fire much of his campaign staff. (Romney is so rich from his predatory buy-out firm, Bain Capital, that all this is just a joke to him and he loaned his free-spending campaign $6.5 million the other day.)

If you want to actually see all the numbers and what states are contributing the most-- wow, look at Utah go! I wonder what that's all about!-- the FEC has a cool interactive map that promises endless hours of fun and games. I, for example, had fun comparing the ratios of the amounts raised by the various candidates from small donations (under $200) and large donations (over $2,000). Of the serious contenders Romney has the worst ratio. For every dollar raised from a small donation $12.50 was raised from a big donation. Giuliani's ratio was similar. For every buck he took in from a small donor-- someone not in a position to ask for special favors-- he took in $11.10 from a big money donor. On the brighter end of the political spectrum, the big Democratic winner this quarter, Obama, had a ratio that shows he's getting that big dough from small donors. For every $1 he got from small contributors he got $2.45 from big donors. As an aside, the only Democrat who has Republican-like stats is joke candidate and corporate whore Joe Biden whose ratio is over $14 from the wealthy folks who love his Republican-lite policies for every buck he got from a small donation.
