(H/T – Ian Schwartz)
Brit Hume ran down the number of staffers the Big Seven (Clinton, Edwards, Giuliani, McCain, Obama, Romney and Thompson) have in New Hampshire. Those numbers ought to tell you absolutely, positively everything you need to know about what they believe the size of government should be.
On a related note, while I won’t be updating the fundraising post that’s currently buried somewhere below until the FEC numbers come out (because there’s been too many all-but-official numbers released between Thursday and Friday), it will be very interesting to see the “burn rate”, how fast the campaigns are going through their stash. That’s something that Kevin told us to watch on Thursday. If the massive size of the Rats’ staffs in New Hampshire are any indication, they need every penny of their fundraising advantage just to keep those that hope to be suckling off the gubmint trough less than 16 months from now happy.
