I note that at this time in 2008, John McCain was broke, and he was running against Hopenchange. Romney is flush with cash, as winners tend to be, and is running against an Empty Chair.

He has to take a message to the people and he cannot rely on the MSM to be fair.

Gosh, I wonder how some of the FReeper Lemmings will spin this into a castrophic negative?

Sorry folks but some of the posts on here this weekend, 8 weeks out, are simply BS. “The chair” gets a FEW points bump in some subjective polls and it’s all over for some of you. You are the democrats and MSM’s best ally. They print out a tainted poll or story and you swallow it. Hook, line and sinker.

Wake up, be vigilant and dont get suckered by the left.

Have you seen ALL THE POLLS, though? Romney is weak.

Negative advertising works.

What good is all this money if he continue to run such lame-ass ads that refuse to attack Obama?

Ohio, a lot of people are counting on you.

Since I'm from California, I will, of course, put out the lawn sign, etc. But my real contribution will have to be $$$ for races Romney/Ryan can win.

This is why I like Romney. While others panic, he puts in the work on the fundamentals. Solid fundraising is such an important key to victory, especially for us as we do not have the celebutarts and media spokesholes like the Rats.

They are still around 8 weeks left for the election, many debates around.

The Job market is not going to get better, gas prices still high.

I am confident Romney will not go the same way as McCain in 08.

The Mormon church is pretty rich and I don’t think they would let that money stay idle while they have a chance to get one of their own into the White House. Just wait until you see the money raised when the Church of Scientology runs a candidate!

Obama raised 114 million in August. So I’d call that a stand still.

They key is who can spend their money more effectively.

I saw Romney’s new ad he is running in 8 states. Not that good. I know with the money he has they can do better. They need to hit 0bama hard. Not just ask if you better off than 4 years ago. It’s not a good question to ask becuase Bush and the Democratic congress had us in a mess four years ago, it might help 0bama make his “blame Bush” case.

B. Hussein and his PACS has announced via Twitter that he raised $114 million. Looks like we’ve been outraised by about $3mil.

Better to have all this bad news come out at once I guess.

We weren’t outraged by much, but he got a lot of new donors this month.

Romney’s camp did say they were going to slow down fundraising and do more retail politicking

...”Romney is flush with cash, as winners tend to be, and is running against an Empty Chair”...

I wonder what kind of value Obama is gaining from having wall to wall campaigning from the Major News Media? I would think you wouldn’t need much money with that kind of advantage.

OPEC won’t let Obama go underfunded. He didn’t bow to the Saudi king for nothing.

And we all know that money can pass through so many hands that it becomes untraceable.

If I trust romney to do one thing, it’s to run an effective negative ad campaign against Obama.

He does his due diligence.

He wants this thing.

And he has a track record.

Now, release the Kraken!

If it weren’t for politicians spending on advertising, the dinosaur media would already be extinct.

Don’t like some of the latest state polls. Glad he has a good warchest. He will need it.

This is great news.
The fact however, is that the big O raised more cash than Mitt.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-narrowly-outraises-romney-august-053212967—election.html

Given the fact that the economy is swirling the bowl & our foreign policy is non existent, this is not so good news, but the outlook is still promising.
