I’d bet other campaigns will pick up these guys in a hurry.
Their biggest problem is that the campaigns have all hired senior staff and they will never come close to earning what they did with McCain which is why he is low on money. His burn rate was very high for his donations. Only reason that Romney is not down with McCain is that he loaned his campaign over $10 million so far. Both campaigns had high burn rates.
Couldn’t believe what I heard McCain and Romney were paying their staffs right away. Looks like the two campaigns competed against each other for Bush staffers and the salaries went up accordingly.
