Fast Burn
Yet more evidence that, reluctant though many conservative elites may be to support him, Giuliani remains in the driver's seat. Of course, he may be doing so well in part because he hasn't spent much money - he has yet to really expose himself on the national stage. Once he does, he might be more vulnerable.
The Right's Field has posted a breakdown of Q1 fundraising numbers for the GOP candidates so far. Not only are the Republicans raising much less than the Democrats, they're spending it a lot quicker. The only candidate with a "burn rate" (money spent as a percentage of money raised) of less than 50% is Rudy Giuliani. John McCain spent 70% of the $13 million he raised - and his campaign is falling apart anyway.
