While Obama and Clinton are considering Super Bowl ads, Republican candidates are running short on cash.

Romney appears to be considering spending some more of his own money on the race, while in the Huckabee campaign, some aides are not being paid, and others have left, and insiders in the McCain campaign are admitting that things are tight.

Gee, if you screw up the economy badly enough, I guess that Republican donor Rodney Richpigge^* won’t crack open his check book, because high taxes on some profits is better than no taxes on losses.
