Can Romney buy the nomination?

Less than two hours before the 2007 fourth quarter financial filings deadline, the Romney campaign announced it had raised over $27 million. But 18 of the $27 million was loaned by Mitt Romney to the campaign, meaning that just $9 million of it was raised.

To date, Romney has contributed over $35 million of his own money to his campaign, more than half of that in the fourth quarter of 2007 alone. Before becoming governor of Massachusetts, Romney was a successful venture capitalist who amassed an estimated $250 million fortune at the helm of his company, Bain Capital.

The $27 million brings Romney's total for 2007 to $90.1 million, far outpacing main rival John McCain's $42.1 million.

Romney has almost certainly spent more than $35 million of his own money so far. The campaign has bought significant amounts of advertising time in 2008, including an estimated $2-3 million for Super Tuesday states.

Well unless we have an Independent step up, which seems unlikely at this point, Romney gets my vote simply because he had the courage to say basically what needs to be done with the Illegal immigration problem. IMO

....and he is leading by example. If we had more rich people spend as much as he has on the campaign, we wouldn't be having a possible recession. :roll:
