Looks like Rudy Giuliani's decision to quit the primary after Florida and immediately endorse John McCain is paying off for the former mayor.
On Friday McCain manager Rick Davis sent an e-mail to the senator's top fundraisers requesting that they help Hizzoner retire the debt he incurred from his lackluster campaign.
"While this is an unusual request, it is extremely important for the McCain campaign and the party," Davis wrote in a message to the campaign's finance leadership team. "We need to help Mayor Giuliani retire his debt as soon as possible so we can move forward with everyone spending 100% of their time helping to get John McCain in the White House. The time Rudy Giuliani has to spend raising money to pay down his debt is time he could be spending raising money and reaching out to voters for us."
Giuliani, who raised far less money than his campaign had planned on and never contributed any of his cash to the race, reported to the FEC last month that his former campaign had $4 million in cash but $3.1 million in debt.
In the email, Davis directs the McCain donors to make their contribution to Rudy's website — which is being kept up exclusively for purposes of retiring his debt.
