on Huffington Post that said that of the $435M the Romney campaign had taken in, one third of it $135M had gone to firms with links to high level staff members within the Romney campaign; as compared to $5.8M of the expenditures for the Obama campaign.

It would not surprise me if Romney/Romney's Sons/Bain actually makes money off this campaign. Face it, Romney is a shrewd businessman first and foremost. This is a man who's second highest charitable donations goes to his own charity which he completely controls. So why would it be a surprise to anyone that he would not be directing hundreds to millions of campaign funds to consultants and firms that he has a financial interest in. Heck if Newt Gingrich can do it, I'm certail Romney can do it bigger and better.

Romney has never played in a game that wasn't rigged in his favor, at least up until he got into politics.

If (when) you know your candidate is likely to lose a race, you support the best (?) alternative to "build" FOR FUTURE RACES.

Or maybe he really is just a snob. Obama should turn his over and produce his BC, but Rmoney considers himself above that.
