In a sign of potential money woes, Rudy Giuliani has fired his presidential campaign's chief fundraiser and brought in a top rainmaker for President Bush, The Daily News has learned.

Anne Dunsmore, who took control of Giuliani's day-to-day fundraising operation in May, has been replaced by Jim Lee, a Texas money man and Bush ally who is already one of Giuliani's national finance co-chairs.

"Anne Dunsmore is no longer working on our campaign," Giuliani communications chief Katie Levinson confirmed. "We thank Anne for her service and the departure is amicable."

Added Dunsmore in a statement: "I continue to believe Rudy Giuliani is the strongest candidate in the race and I strongly support him for president."

6. I beg forgiveness of the gods and goddesses but I hope Rudy's

campaign tanks big time.

May his polling tank.

May his fundraising tank.

May he drop out a sore loser, Nixon-like, and confirm my notion that he's American's Thug, and not America's Mayor.

7. Yeah, Ms. Dunsmore, that's the sign of a strong candidate

Dumping the chief of fundraising. Of course, hiring someone that delusional as your chief fundraiser doesn't speak very well for a candidate's "strength" either.
