Obama's Paid Staff Dwarfing McCain's

by Brian C. Mooney - July 20th, 2008 - The Boston GLobe

Reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show that in May the [Obama] campaign had a payroll of about 900, not counting nearly 500 part-time workers who were paid stipends. As of May 31, the Obama campaign staff was well over twice the size of the Bush reelection campaign staff in 2004 and nearly three times the size of McCain's current staff, and has expanded significantly since.

If anyone has any doubt that Obama will run up federal emplyment in the same way, let me just suggest they are deluding themselves.
