Mitt Romney Continues To Try And Buy The Nomination

12:14 pm EST February 1st, 2008 | News | 3 Comments

If I thought better of conservative voters I would commend them for showing character in not allowing Mitt Romney to throw around his cash and take the nomination.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney loaned his campaign a total of more than $35 million in 2007, according to the most recent filings of campaign finance reports.

In the past quarter alone, the former Massachusetts governor pumped $18 million of his own wealth to financing his candidacy. That personal contribution helped bolster his fourth quarter fundraising total to $27 million, well beyond the $6.8 million raised by his competitor and GOP frontrunner, Sen. John McCain.

    He out raised McCain, and spent $18 million of his own money, yet he will still lose out to him by a wide, wide margin.

    Sad.

    He will run as a third party candidate and could skim enough votes from McCain to make it impossible to win. He will grab some of the anti-Immigration voters, some of the libertarians, and some of the bat shit insane ones.

    More money…

    The three Democratic national committees have more than $30 million more than the three Republican national committees.

    In 2007 Clinton and Obama raised $80 million more than the four remaining Republicans. And Ron Paul will run as a third party candidate, so his $40 million or so doesn’t count.

    Has the Republicans ever led by this kind of margin?
