Hammond, who said that Gingrich did not take a salary from the campaign,


Do candidates who want political jobs get paid a salary just to run? Shhhhesssssh.

A lot of the numbers seem odd but normal political hack spending, such as his family connected business getting paid before others. Normal for all politicians IMO.

Just seem totally bizarre that a statement Gingrich didn't get a salary from the campaign funds. Was that suppose to be a positive statement?

Makes me wonder how many do draw salaries to run and how they compare to the salary they were drawing at whatever their day job was.

Of course many, of all political stripes, run for one office while getting for salary from the elected office they hold. SOP, but do they draw a salary for running as well as the job they are currently elected to do?
