Boston, MA – Today, Governor Mitt Romney announced that National Call Day 2008 has raised an estimated $5 million. About 500 Romney volunteer fundraisers from across the country joined Governor Romney in Boston today to call donors nationwide to raise both primary and general election dollars. Today marks the first Romney for President finance event in which general election dollars were raised. The success of today's event will help Governor Romney continue to compete nationwide and help communicate his message of bringing conservative change in Washington.

Governor Mitt Romney said, "National Call Day 2008 has been an extraordinary success. I am grateful to all of the fundraisers and donors who have helped us raise the resources we need to continue to be competitive in all 50 states. Washington is broken, and we all know that it will take someone from outside of Washington to bring conservative change to our nation's capital. Today's success shows the continued belief that I have the vision, values and experience to bring that change.

"This is going to be a long race, but we have some great momentum, and will carry that momentum into Michigan. The success of today's events shows a continued belief that I am the only Republican candidate who can match up against the Democrats in the fall. My campaign is about the future of our country, and I will be ready to go toe-to-toe with the Democrats in the general election."

He raised $5 million today??

[GOP_Lady]

Yeah, he shop drop out — right. His support is dwindling — right. Meanwhile, McCain and Huckabee are trying to force him out, while he raises this amount of money.

[GOP_Lady]

Indeed in one day — I’m going to make a donation this evening as well.

Drive Buy Media wants to kill the Romney candidacy because they know he CAN beat the Hillary!

[GOP_Lady]

Yep. People should seriously consider switching support from Huckabee and McCain, when there is a PROVEN leader to support like Mr. Romney.

[rwfromkansas]

I just heard on the news though that he is pulling ads in everywhere but MI because he needed to focus on there.

Me too.

[GOP_Lady]

Yes, the race is about delegates, that’s why he’s concentrating on MI, where in SC he is not likely to pick up as much as other candidates.

General Election funds? As in, he can’t use them during the Primary season funds?

[Petronski]

At Iowa rates ($250 a vote), that’s enough for 20,000 more votes. LOL

[GOP Poet]

Yeah exactly and add to that the MSM and just about every non-Romney supporter here on FR. The truth is in the fund raising. Go Mitt!

[big'ol_freeper]

After Michigan Romney is toast. He'll stay in the race to try and snag the VP slot.

From his bank account ?

Mitt could make good use of the famous Mark Twain quote, “Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated”. :-)

[Scarchin]

I think folks may switch to him when they realize that their options are McCain, Huck, or the Dem.

Others are going take their ball and go home.

McCain and Huchabee must have put a scare into people. Even though it is too early, as Cavuto pointed out, to declare anyone the winner - with results representing a tiny fraction from the relatively liberal Iowa and NH where reportedly many outside the state could vote.

Mormons have worldwide real estate holdings of $50 billion. He need only to appeal to Mormon donors and rake in millions. There is also the "White Horse" Prophecy of Joseph Smith, which many Mormons believe that Romney may fulfill. Interesting stuff.

McCain and Huchabee must have put a scare into people. Even though it is too early, as Cavuto pointed out, to declare anyone the winner - with results representing a tiny fraction of the total and coming from relatively liberal Iowa and NH where reportedly many outside the state could vote.

I was just listening to Hugh Hewitt’s show where he said that the founder of Domino’s Pizza (who is Catholic and started a Catholic University) has endorsed Mr. Romney. I am Catholic as well.

Hopefully, GOPers will realize that Mr. McCain and Mr. Huckabee at not acting like GOPers.
