AP: McCain, Giuliani post fundraising totals
The race for presidential cash in its infancy, Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) on Wednesday collected $1.7 million in his campaign’s first few weeks while Republican rival Rudy Giuliani’s early take totaled $1.4 million.
Financial documents detailing 2006 year-end totals showed McCain, an Arizona senator, had only $472,000 on hand while Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, had about $1 million available. Both spent money setting up campaign headquarters, buying equipment and hiring workers.
With the Republican nomination fight just getting under way, the significance of the totals is little more than negligible because the reports detail a period before any candidate began presidential fundraising efforts in earnest.
Most candidates are spending the first months of 2007 focusing on raising money so they can post big numbers in April, the Federal Election Commission’s first reporting deadline and, in turn, the first major test of who is a viable candidate.
