I'm surprised Soros isn't giving McVain huge amounts of money.

That is pretty ungrateful of old Soros isn't it?

See Post #58.

Thanks for pointing out the McCain-Soros connections. Even after McCain-Feingold, some freepers are too dense to make the connection.

For too many, it's soooooooo much easier to pile on Mitt Romney for using his own damn money to promote his candidacy. I have my issues with Mitt, but this is actually one of his advantages-- he's putting his money where his mouth is!

“What’s going on is the same since Iowa. Romney is trying to buy the election. He’s up on every station of any consequence in FL multiple times. It’s disgusting.”

It’s not disgusting for conservatives who want to defeat McCain.

“Romney...lies about his alleged conservatism.”

You are lying.

As long as Mitt is spending his own money it's highly unlikely that he will need money from lefties.

John McCain Goes Left for Money

“If voters wanted Mitt Romney he wouldn’t need to self-fund.”

If voters wanted McCain, he’d have more votes. He don’t.

“What exactly is the problem with McCain raising money for his campaign?”

People don’t want to give money to his campaign.

For some reason, potential donors don’t like McCain’s 10 year middle finger to the party.

Ironically, this is known as “payback”.

Your post belongs in a McCain Truth File.

Or a run for the border.

McCain received more conservative votes and just more Republican votes in S.C. than Romney, who campaigned heavily in that state until two days before and spent millions more than McCain.

Ping us when it happens again. Hint: It won't. Look up "anomaly" in a dictionary. All that bullcrap about "South Carolina picks the nominee every time." Not this time.

Don’t count Bloomberg out yet.

I think you are right on that score. He has the money and the ego for it. If we nominated an actual conservative, Bloomberg would presume to claim "the middle." Which would not IMHO affect the Republicans nearly as much as the Democrats, but in a weak field it certainly would have the potential for drawing more than Ross Perot.

I question whether Bloomberg would run against Romney, who would not leave Bloomberg thinking there was room in "the middle." Bloomberg would, I assume, respect the branding effect of the Republican nomination more than that - and would rue it if he didn't.
