Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani may be running for the GOP presidential nomination as a Washington outsider, but you'd never know it from the list of lobbyist insiders raising money for him.

Giuliani has collected more lobbyist bundlers -- 20 -- than any other major candidate who is accepting help from the community. He beat Republican challenger Sen. John McCain's number of 12 and, on the Democratic side, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's half-dozen lobbyist helpers.

While Giuliani clocks in with more hands on deck, that hasn't translated into more money. Clinton still leads in that category, pulling in $234,550 to Giuliani's $100,950, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
