Leadership PACs: The 2008 Republicans
On Wednesday we dissected the spending habits of the leadership political action committees associated with the 2008 Democratic presidential candidates. Today we turn our attention to the Republicans.
Before jumping into a candidate by candidate analysis, it's important to note that none of the Republican leadership PACs rival their Democratic counterparts in terms of depth of organization. New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's HILL PAC employs 26 staffers, ex-Virginia Gov. Mark Warner's Forward Together PAC has 23. No GOP leadership PAC has even 10 employees. Sen. Bill Frist's Volunteer PAC leads the way with eight staffers, while Arizona Sen. John McCain's Straight Talk America comes in second with six salaried employees. Several top tier candidates like Virginia Sen. George Allen and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney have no employees or just a few staffers on payroll.
