Rudy Giuliani fires chief fundraiser

Hope this isn't a dupe. I haven't seen it and "search" never works for me.


In a sign of potential money woes, Rudy Giuliani has fired his presidential campaign's chief fundraiser and brought in a top rainmaker for President Bush, The Daily News has learned.

Anne Dunsmore, who took control of Giuliani's day-to-day fundraising operation in May, has been replaced by Jim Lee, a Texas money man and Bush ally who is already one of Giuliani's national finance co-chairs.

"Anne Dunsmore is no longer working on our campaign," Giuliani communications chief Katie Levinson confirmed. "We thank Anne for her service and the departure is amicable."

Added Dunsmore in a statement: "I continue to believe Rudy Giuliani is the strongest candidate in the race and I strongly support him for president."

Coming just days before Sunday's filing deadline, when candidates are expected to report how much money they've raised over the last three months, the departure suggests that Giuliani is less than happy with his most recent haul.

5. At least she wasn't indicted like his state campaign chairs

that's gotta count for something right?

Of course, none of this will ever make the news, but a random donor gives Hillary Clinton money and turns out to have a criminal past, and it's a national headline for weeks. (I'm not a Hillary supporter, just noting the difference)

7. Sounds like Rudy will be the establishment candidate

I can't wait to repeat the stories of how he corrupted the '01 election - our "progressive" media didn't care at the time.
