WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney has raised nearly $3.5 million for his political action committee in the first half of the year, a sum that dwarfs that of other possible 2012 Republican presidential candidates and establishes the former Massachusetts governor as a potent political force......

[Leisler]

"Most of Romney’s money came through events (including one at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel in May that netted $1 million) ...
and personal appeals to major donors, including those from professional fund-raising consultants.....
The remainder, according to an aide, arrived through smaller contributions online, via direct mail, or through telemarketing."

Translation. Hooked up GOP/RNC RINO fatcats, and Mormons.

Romney might get a second chance after all.....he will be the "Mcain of 2012"

Palin would get totally massacred by the MSM

But at this point anybody could beat the Kenyan basterd, even charlie manson or osama bin laden

[johnthebaptistmoore]

There goes the MSM, “pushing” a RINO upon the general public, again.

McLame + Dole = Romney. Loser.

[Tarpon]

All he needs now is the official US Fish-wrap newspaper to wrap it up.

What do you do with a shortage of voters?

Thanks for ruining my day!

All the money in the world will not wash away
what Mitt Romney did to the citizens of Masschusetts
(RomneyCARE, gay marriage without a vote),
or what Romney and his saboteurs did to Gov. Palin
and the GOP (throwing the election)
or that fact that his parents were Mexican
(America has absolutely had it with narcissistic non-nbc socialists,
Marxists and fascists like Romney).

[JaneNC]

I think Sarah Palin has a real chance to get the nod.

“his parents were Mexican”???!!! please explain this.

[Crim]

Palin / West ‘12

[Doogle]

Romney is the MSM’s 2012 version of McWuss....we’ll be hearing the praise of Romney from the NYT soon..........just another set up for defeat....

Except that Sarah Palin is getting more face time and attention than Romney is. Here in Virginia, we elected a Governor whose war chest during the election was barely one-fifth that of his Democrat opponent. But the message resonanted with the right people and the election was in the bag by September despite efforts by media outlets like the WaPo to torpedo the campaign.

I suspect something similar is going to happen in the GOP primaries leading up to 2012 and Sarah Palin will come out on top.

Romney had more money in 2008 than all his opponents combined, and still lost to one of the worst candidates ever.

Let's hope he wastes a bunch this time again.

Both McLame and Dole served, in war, their country. Romney’s never do.

[Leisler]

This time is different, he’s trying to waste other people’s money

You really expecting a rational explanation of birther nonsense?

Mitt Romney's father was born in Mexico to two U.S. citizen parents.

Mitt Romney was born a citizen, in the USA, of citizen parents; but according to some sort of convoluted birther nonsense - Mitt Romney's parents were Mexican, and Mitt isn't a natural born citizen.

[Leisler]

His grand parents fled to Mexico to keep being polygamists. Some Romneys are still at the old hacienda, and are Mexican citizens. Mitt’s father was born in Mexico. I don’t know if he was a Mexican citizen, or if Grand dad and the grand ma’s had renounced their American citizenship, such that Mitt’s dad might of been, legally, a Mexican who had Mitt in Detroit.

Odd that Mitt and Barry Soetoro both have these, a bit, problems. One’s a minority Mormon, the other a ....

I guess that's their problem.

He'll still waste a bunch of his own as well........
