So he has to pay them a lot to get them to do so?

What exactly are you arguing?

The fact is that Obama has twice as many paid staffers working his campaign. The point of a campaign is to get more bang for the buck, not to enrich a few. I mean, what's the point of nine people receiving $200,000 in bonuses? That's the kind of cluelessness Mitt has shown. With his focus on the economy and his business experience, he hires fewer people at larger salaries and then doles out bonuses on top of that, all while his ground game sucks.
