Game void Romney McCain among Republicans. Not to mention the prosecutors in each party, are not said their last word. So that the campaign promises to be bitter by the votes of 22 States, February 5 (Super Tuesday), and that managers of campaign budgets have not finished having cold sweats, especially among Republicans.
If small States, which have already voted, represent only 6.6 of the total number of Democratic delegates and 8.9 of the Republican delegates, and did not need massive investment (campaigns that may limit the field visits of candidate in universities or at the door of volunteers), the primary campaign will, however, now require marketing and advertising investments in key States with large urban populations. But six key democratic and Republican candidates have already spent more than 80 of the hundreds of millions of dollars raised in 2007... While direct contributions are dampened, that individual donors reach their ceiling of $ 2,300. Mitt Romney, a multi-millionaire who has invested more than 17 million of his own pocket and spent more than any other candidate, is the only one to navigate safely.
Opensecrets, a site which analyzes the financial details of the campaign, the total budget of the campaign presidential 2008 is expected to reach $ 1 billion, not counting the "indirect" contributions ("independent" groups of candidates are allowed to intrude into the campaign with their own media messages). The business magazine "Fortune", advanced a cost of more than 3 billion. In 2004, campaign spending had just exceeded 700 million.
The amount of the raising of funds and expenditures in the last quarter of 2007 will be published at the end of the month. However, the staffs of Clinton and Obama made namely, mid-January, they found themselves in similar situations: approximately $ 20 million in cash, on more than 100 million harvested last year. Both declined to fund a second aircraft for the press. In order to raise 10 million dollars in January, Bill and Chelsea Clinton were sent on the East Coast and West, while Hillary was seeking contributions to Hollywood. For its part, Barack Obama was a marathon to meet its donors in California. This table also on the support of John Kerry to benefit from the generosity of the supporters of the Senator from Massachusetts.
Lean McCain campaign
The Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani is not spared. Despite its decision to ignore the States before Super Tuesday, with the exception of Florida, he remained mid-January that 7 million of the 60 million raised in 2007. Ten of his campaign officials have even abandoned their salary.
For loser last year, due to the State of its finances, John McCain he practice a frugal campaign. He is released from saddle in New Hampshire and South Carolina, attracting new contributions, starting with the one Fred Thompson comes to withdraw from the race.
Mike Huckabee, who remained at the start of year two million dollars (about seven collected) and created the surprise in Iowa and South Carolina, has reduced its expenses drastically. He gave a campaign television in Florida, where he will focus on Christian radio. It preserves its resources to impose religious States of the South, as the Georgia. His approach could prefigure the choices made by the candidates in the run-up to Super Tuesday: focus on States where they are more likely to win, even if ignore others.
