NBC's Fineman: Giuliani has spent 60 million dollars and earned exactly ONE delegate

[Unsane]

[PresidentObama]

1. Ouch. Even Ron Paul has more delegates.

[Alexander]

2. Didn't another candidate do the same thing, and the delegate was called...

"The most expensive delegate in the world"?

I want to say it was John Glenn or Alan Cranston or somebody like that. Does anyone remember?

5. John Connally

Connally announced in January 1979 that he would seek the Republican nomination for President in 1980. He was considered a great orator and strong leader and was featured on the cover of Time magazine with the heading "Hot on the Trail," but his wheeler dealer image remained a liability. He raised more money than any other candidate, but he was never able to overtake the popular conservative front runner Ronald Reagan. Connally spent his money nationally, while the first George Bush targeted his time and money in early states and won the Iowa caucus, making him the principal alternative to Reagan.

Connally eventually focused on South Carolina, an early primary state where he had the support of popular U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond, but he lost there to Reagan 55 to 30 percent (15 percent for Bush) and withdrew from the race. After spending $11 million during the campaign, Connally secured the support of a single delegate, the late Mrs. Ada Mills of Arkansas, who became known as the "$11 million delegate." Connally quickly endorsed Reagan and helped him to win only a narrow primary victory over Bush in Bush's adopted home state of Texas.
