The Giuliani campaign has asked staffers to go without their January paychecks, MSNBC is reporting:

"We have enough money, but we could always use more money," contended Mike DuHaime, Giuliani's campaign manager and one of those who now is working for free. "We want to make sure we have enough to win."

At the end of December, he said the campaign had $11.5 million cash on hand, $7 million of which can be used for the primary. He disputed the notion of a cash-strapped campaign, and said Giuliani continues to bring in cash; several fundraisers are scheduled this week in Florida.

DuHaime and other aides stressed that relinquishing pay was voluntary and was limited to senior staffers.

This is just one of the problems a campaign deals with when it's not winning anything. Rudy can last until Florida, and with $7 million COH, it's not like he can't continue. But he's building Florida into his Alamo, which means that if he loses, everyone will say it's over. Maybe it will be.
