Clinton and Giuliani Lead Presidential Financial Race

Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani are the front-runners for their parties' presidential nominations, as well as the financial leaders heading into the final months of the primary season. Clinton was reported to have $35 million available to spend on her campaign, making her $3 million ahead of her fellow Democrat Barack Obama. Both Democrats have a huge advantage over their Republican running mates. Giuliani leads Republican candidates, ending September with $16 million in his campaign account, while his closest rival is Romney how has $9 million at his disposal. However, Romney, Giuliani, and Obabma all spent more than their campaigns brought in over the past three months. Obama and Romney both have spent extra on television ads in hope of catching their better-known, front-running rivals. For example, Obama has aired 2400 more television spots that Clinton has this year.
