Giuliani has been actively raising funds from Americans living overseas. Contributions from Americans overseas for all candidates doubled between 2000 and 2004.
Having raised $127,000 from Americans in London, Tokyo, Monte Carlo and Warsaw, Giuliani leads the GOP in overseas fund raising.
While $127,000 may seem like chump change, the number is really understated because ex-pats usually write their permanent U.S. addresses on their checks. That being said, for the 2008 presidential election, ex-pats have given more than $470,000 in the first six months of the year, on pace to significantly exceed 2004.
