Giuliani Gets a Boost From Vice

If voters end up following the money, the Republicans are in trouble for 2008. OK, it's early days and the Democrats have enjoyed an early advantage in publicity. But so far the states with the swing electoral votes are mostly donating to the left. Democrats have collected 71% of the political contributions from Pennsylvania, 56% of those from Ohio and 58% of those from Florida.

Among the states with the most electoral votes, the Democrats are enjoying financial landslides so far from the blue states of New York (73%), California (62%), and Obama's Illinois (80%).

Maybe most alarming for Republicans: Right now, at least when it comes to money, the Democrats are even competitive in Texas. Texas. Latest figures from the Lone Star State: 52% Republican, 48% Democrat. You have to figure that's going to change.
