The NYT has a great little article about the spending patterns of the top candidates (and McCain) and what it tells us about them. My favorite is about how Romney’s staffers end up sometimes tripled up in hotels as swanky as the Super 8 in Parsippany, NJ. This is why I write about politics, not go on the road for the candidates.
The good news is that Hillary has cut her flower budget and Obama only has one staffer that makes over 100K annually. McCain is burning through his money, but I bet a lot of that is one time costs associated with buying body armor for afternoon strolls.
