Reply #141: After the bills start coming in... [View All]

[Nicholas_J]

A lot of the contract that candidates make dont come due until after the campaign is over. Its really common. Some people who drop out also pay their paid staff for months after they drop oout, so as to give these people something to live on while they are looking fo new jobs. Al Gore did that, and Joe Lieberman is doing it now. Dean probably is as well. It's not uncommon. Its generally the right thing to do from a human stance, as well as a political thing to do if you intend on running in the future.About the only thing in political campaigns that requires up front money is television advertising time. Other people bill monthly or quaterly. others wait untl the campaign is over win lose or drop out.
