Via CNN:

CNN has learned that top staff members of Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign were asked to work without pay for the month of January, and perhaps longer, so that campaign resources could be focused on the Florida Republican presidential primary.

Two sources in the campaign, speaking on condition of anonymity, insisted the campaign was not in dire financial straits. A third campaign source, however, said "things are starting to get tight" and that "it was more telling than asking" the senior staff to forgo paychecks beginning the first of the year.

Another source disagreed, saying it was a "voluntary" move by senior staff members "so all of our resources could be targeted toward Florida…Our campaign is not living hand to mouth right now…" Read on...

Concentrating all resources to Florida? You mean, to buy all those ads in Spanish? I wonder if Sean Hannity will come to the rescue and host another Freedom Concert to help his BFF.

Update: Rudy's national finance chair has jumped ship. That's never good...
