Mitt Romney Living With His Largest Campaign Contributor!

Himself.

Mitt Romney's campaign is announcing today his total raised for this quarter: $18 million. But the campaign also says that $8.5 million of this came out of Romney's own pockets -- so his actual tally raised is closer to $10 million.

As the great TBogg notes, this really is like someone sending themselves flowers at work to prove to everyone in the office how desirable they are. Romney's personal contributions to his campaign now exceed $15 million dollars, which is also the amount of money John McCain sees skipping over to him dressed in a slinky outfit in a nightly dream.

With all of this money and 10,000 ads already aired in the early states, you'd think Romney would be far further along than he is. But people are still seeing the badly programmed robot behind the money. And the flip-flopping charges aren't going away, like in this brilliantly-produced ad from (oddly enough) the Log Cabin Republicans.



The Romney campaign dismissed the ad as coming from Rudy. It's undeniably devastating no matter who the progenitor. Looks like Daddy Warbucks will have to write himself another check to combat it!
