Rudy Giuliani's chief fundraiser is leaving the campaign shortly before the third quarter reporting period ends, Libby Quaid reports for the Associated Press:
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani's top finance official is out in a staff shake-up just days before the fundraising deadline for the White House hopefuls.Anne Dunsmore, deputy campaign manager for finance, has left the operation. Giuliani aides said the departure was unrelated to fundraising. The third-quarter deadline for all campaigns, Republican and Democrat, is Sunday.
"Anne Dunsmore is no longer working on our campaign. We thank Anne for her service and the departure is amicable," Katie Levinson, communications director for the campaign, said Wednesday.
Republican fundraiser Jim Lee will now serve as national co-chair and head the finance operation, with day-to-day responsibility for all fundraising operations.
Read it all at the link above. Dunsmore still supports Giuliani, and Rudy himself claims he will "probably" lead the GOP field in 3Q numbers.
We'll know shortly - the reports are due October 15 and will be public as soon as they can be entered on the FEC website.

Romney funding himself kills the meme. But happily for America he dare not pull out until real votes are cast since all the top tier are flops and Romney might win the Republican lonely housewife vote.
With the tweedles Dee, Dum, Doh, and Dork splitting the Bushbot vote, a strong showing for Paul will overturn the gameboard with new values assigned. Paul from Knight to Rook. Thompson and Romney will remain Bishops, stuck on their own colored squares.
The Ghoul will probably stay a Rook but trapped by his pawning of America on mystery square R1-911.

I didn't say he'd use his money. Paul does inhabit an impregnable castle.
