Silly question. Saw a Willard ad and noticed at the bottom it read, Mitt Romney for Pres., Inc.

Paid For By Romney For President, Inc., approved by Mitt Romney and his voice over saying MR approved this message.

I probably haven't been paying attention to the words but the Inc. part stood out and I thought I'd ask DU about it.

Is this normal?

POTUS' ads just say Approved by Barack Obama paid for by Obama for America.

Mitt is all about companies. But, he's good at destroying them, too, so we can only hope.

and when he loses, I suspect the money he's raked in through his campaign will be his to do with as he wishes, if there's any left over.

I bet we'll eventually learn that Romney took his billionaires for a ride, siphoning off $50 million to some offshore accounts.

3rd Party groups particularly Super PACs, 501(c)(4)s and so forth are not allowed to coordinate with the actual campaign.

So I have to wonder about that.
