Marco Rubio’s big expenses
by Michael C. Bender | July 29th, 2010Rubio started his underdog campaign on a shoe-string budget, joking at the time that his only campaign aides were “Mr. Garmin and Mr. SunPass.”
But as he’s risen from long-shot to front-runner, so have his expenses.
In the second quarter he spent $402,000 on seven political consultants, two finance consultants, one legal consultant, a compliance consultant and creative consultant for his direct-mail, a Palm Beach Post analysis of Rubio’s expenditures found.
“I thought he was just going from pine tree stump to pine tree stump generating an upwelling to sweep him into the Capital, said Republican operative Mac Stipanovich, who is supporting Crist in the race. “That kind of money for consultants isn’t really consistent with his image.”

Oh, Mac, you surely can do better than that, and I KNOW you KNOW better than that. Let’s face it, if the tuna had the money, HE would be doing the very same thing.
