Giuliani says he's in the black

Trying to put the kibosh on reports that South Carolina staffers are working for free, the Rudy Giuliani campaign put out this statement:

"The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee today announced that the campaign has over $12.7 million cash on hand, with over $7 million in primary dollars. These numbers were reported as of Dec. 31st, the end of the last reporting period.  From day one our campaign has been focused on a national strategy built around the new primary calendar.  As such, weve budgeted conservatively and effectively targeted our resources to win under this new system.

"We will have the funds necessary to carry out our campaign plan and deliver the mayor's message in Florida and beyond," said Giuliani Campaign Manager Michael DuHaime.
