Giuliani Finance Director Returns to Private Sector

ABC News' Jake Tapper Reports: ABC News has learned that Giuliani campaign national finance co-chair Roy Bailey has stepped down to return to the private sector, to his post at Giuliani Partners.
Bailey stepped down from the volunteer position in December in order to focus on the needs of the business, which has made the former mayor a multimillionaire. He had traveled a great deal as national chair but felt he could no longer maintain that schedule or commitment to the campaign of Giuliani.
The other national finance co-chair for the campaign, Jim Lee, remains in his position.
After reports surfaced that senior staffers for Giuliani's campaign took January pay cuts, Giuliani's campaign manager described the move as one that would allow the campaign to maximize resources and denied money woes for the Republican candidate.
"Many on the campaign team joined Rudy when the pundits were saying he couldn't win," Mike DuHaime told ABC News. "We joined because we believe he would be a great President, not for a paycheck. This does not affect the vast majority of the staff."
Responding to these reports, the Giuliani campaign released 4th quarter financials. At the end of December, the campaign had $12.7 million on hand, $7 million of which can be used toward the primary.
Amid rumors last week that Giuliani staffers were forgoing January salaries, the campaign flatly denied to ABC News that that was the case. The campaign says things have changed in the last week: when it told ABC a week ago that the pay cut story wasn't true it was "because it was inaccurate a week ago."

How would a Rudy administration operate?
Deny something to the press one week, and when it turns out to be true the next week, claim it was false last week and true this week?
If they can't even keep themselves from lying to the press on simple matters now, just imagine what will happen when your rights and liberty are at stake.

The US is in a similar situation as NYC was pre-Giuliani. It is time to bring in the sherrif and clean up Washington. If Giuliani wins Florida he will be the nominee and he will wipe up the floor with Obama.

I cannot imagine Jason Miller being willing to take a pay cut. He is still rolling around in the money he made off Jack Ryan.

"Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it."-Rudy Giuliani
At least the US has the common sense to reject RG's unique brand of fascism.
Rudy - GO AWAY.

What I find interesting is how the media has temporarily forgotten about Americans' 70% dislike for the war in Iraq. I expect this issue will come out swinging at the GOP nominee in early summer.
When this issue comes out again, a GOP nominee supporting the war will be toast. The GOP is going to decisively lose the white house if the GOP nominates a pro-war candidate.

They should all drop out and we should just declare Ron Paul president and get it over with. He's what the country needs.
I won't vote in the general if he's not the nominee and we'll have Hillary.
