Hey Big Spender!

ABC News’ Jan Simmonds Reports: Rudy Giuliani spent more than he raised from July to September of 2007, dishing out $13 million while taking in $11.4 million.

The Federal Election Committee posted Giuliani’s, R-N.Y., third quarter filing on their official website on Monday, detailing exactly how much money Giuliani has raised and spent to-date in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

The Giuliani campaign listed a total of $16.6 million cash on hand, with $11.6 million available for the primaries.  The campaign’s debt remains very low, listed at just $169,255.75. 

According to estimates released by the campaigns shortly after the quarter came to a close on September 15th, Giuliani will lead in fundraising for the summer months. That said, his total did declined from his April through June high and the campaign did make a staff change over who runs their daily fundraising operations.

Anne Dunsmore, Giuliani’s Deputy Campaign Manager for Finance, was replaced by James H. Lee, a private investor and former fund-raiser for President Bush, days before the close of the third quarter. Dunsmore’s departure has been described as "amicable" by the campaign.

Giuliani said he thought Lee "would spread us out, even more nationally", noting that Lee has been "an enormously successful fundraiser for us."

Attorney General nominee Michael Mukaskey, who faces the beginning of his Senate confirmation hearings on Wednesday, donated the maximum allowed under the law to Giuliani.  This is not a great surprise since he is personally close with Giuliani and was part of his campaign. Mukaskey’s last contribution came on July 16th, almost a month before President Bush tapped him to lead the Justice Department.

All presidential candidates are required to file their third quarter reports with the FEC by midnight Monday.
