"There's no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat... Yes, he has chemical and biological weapons. He's had those for a long time. But the United States right now is on a very much different defensive posture than we were before September 11th of 2001... He is, as far as we know, actively pursuing nuclear capabilities, though he doesn't have nuclear warheads yet. If he were to acquire nuclear weapons, I think our friends in the region would face greatly increased risks as would we." -- Wesley Clark on September 26, 2002

By Jim KuhnhennAP - One million dollars a day.As Democratic Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton rushed from presidential contest to contest in January, that was how quickly they burned through their money.On the Republican side, Sen. John McCain and Mitt Romney were spending a third as much. To see the difference, all a voter in Iowa or New Hampshire or South Carolina had to do was turn on the television.Of the $30.5 million Obama spent in January, more than $18 million was to place and produce television and radio ads, according to his January report to the Federal Election Commission. For Clinton, who spent a total of $28.5 million in January, $11 million was for ads.Clinton relied more heavily on direct mail than Obama, spending $3.5 million on mail expenses, compared to Obama who spent less than half of that.Both campaigns also choose vendors differently. Clinton tends to stay in-house, using her strategists' firms for major campaign operations. The firm operated by Mark Penn, her senior strategist, received the $3.5 million for direct mail and was also paid more than $315,000 for polling in January. Overall, his firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland, has been paid about $7.5 million so far in the campaign. The campaign also reported that it still owed Penn's firm $2.1 millionClinton media strategist Mandy Grunwald's firm has been paid more than $2 million for producing ads for the campaign.Obama relies on a number of strategists and consultants for major campaign functions. His polling has been handled by Harstad Strategic Research from Boulder, Colo., David Binder Research from San Francisco, the Benenson Strategy Group from New York and Brilliant Corners of Washington, D.C. The campaign has paid the four pollsters a total of $2.7 million over the length of the campaign.
