100 Million Dollar Man: Romney Sets Fundraising Record
ABC News ^

Posted on 07/05/2012 2:05:29 PM PDT by Joe27

Mitt Romney reportedly raised more than $100 million in June, the best fundraising month of his campaign so far.

Politico's Mike Allen first reported the total, which includes contributions to both Romney's campaign and the Romney Victory Fund—a joint account between the Romney campaign and the Republican National Committee. A Romney spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

That's two record-breaking months in a row for the Romney team. In May, the presumptive Republican nominee raised nearly $77 million—almost $17 million more than President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. The Obama campaign has not yet announced its June totals.

You know what would be cool?

R-Money should follow Obama to the big cities where he goes and gets 40k checks and leaves and then give a speech in the working class sections of said cities.

For example - I am in NYC. ObaMugabe comes here, stinks up the joint, closes streets, hangs w the girls and wall streeters, etc. Does he ever go to Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Jersey, Yonkers, Mt Vernon? NEVER!

Romney going into Bronx or Brooklyn in the Streets and talking about manufacturing, jobs, etc after Thugbama just left w millions of dollars from people most hate would be epic.

You are mistaken.
Mr. RomneyCARE repealing (HIS OWN SIGNATURE) ObamaCARE?

There is a much higher likelihood of Obama becoming a conservative Roman Catholic.

Most of his own supporters can’t even stand him.

That doesn't bode well for conservatism this election cycle.

I'd imagine June may have been his peak month. He needs to hold money for now; he's not even officially the nominee.

No matter how much Romney can raise, Obama's the "billion dollar" candidate and has endless free advertising.

It doesn’t bode well for the country, when “conservatives,” out of abject fear, abandon everything they say the believe in.

Can't he just call himself an independent "anti-0bama"?

There is NOTHING conservative about him anyway and the only reason that can be squeezed out of anyone for wanting him for POTUS is he is NOT 0bama!

Of course you can have Obama back, too..
If he is reelected ..NO restraints...and no hope at all for Obamacare being overturned.

We have the worse POTUS ever and with an election coming up fear shouldn't even be an option on the table!

It sure is however and we all at FR know why whether some don't want to accept it or not.

Forking out dough and supporting a "sh!t sandwich" to replace a "sh!t sandwich" just doesn't make enough sense to make one feel comfortable.

It just "ain't" natural.

R-Money is great for fundraising - but the last two weeks he seems to have lost a bunch of steam.

Well, lets face it. The country is turning against Oboma whether Romney is there or not. MAYBE, and just maybe (Republicans have a history of being spineless idiots), he's sitting back and letting the voters get angrier and angrier with Oboma by themselves - without his input.

Absolutely. And the trouble is — these shills are so doggone BORING!! They are tedious to read, filled with cliches and childishness, and tiresome.

Until these ABR types present a credible and realistic plan to oust the Obamunist, the Destroyer, The Radical Transformer, then they are nothing but a broken record.

Romney, let the advertising carpet bombing begin and start reserving television time now. Let Obama sense fear.

The one thing hanging over Romney’s head if he is elected will be the promise to repeal Obamacare.

"Read my lips."

And you know what - if romney fails at that - it will be easier to primary him.

Romney is a very bright man. He is a numbers guy and he is building an edge for the push. I think Obama’s people are in shock that they are getting outraised by a challenger. I am getting more and more optimistic about November.
