His nephew is my neighbor, and he told them as much way back in October in a extended family council when he was deciding whither or not to run.
Those kind of numbers are near impossible in regular campaign financing.
We’ve already seen candidates drop out due to money. While Mitt is a great fund raiser, he has other resources that he might pull from. I see nothing wrong with that, especially if it means defeating the Clinton machine,
unfortunatly for my business, Romenycare is a dealbreaker.
I might add he has to spend more to get the name recognition that Giuliani and Fred have due to 911 and a Hollywood/Senate career. If the second tier candidates who have the same problem as Mitt had his resources they then could have moved up into the first tier. The unfortunate fact of campaigning in the 21st century is that it takes money to get your message out.
