Mitt Romney's campaign may be suffering in more than just the battleground states.

Fox Business' Charlie Gasparino reports that some wealthy donors who have made financial commitments to the Romney campaign are reneging, and instead, opting to send their money to Republican House and Senate candidates who they see as having a better chance of winning next month.

Citing two sources, including "a major player in Romney’s New York fundraising circles," Gasparino notes that some donors are losing faith that the Republican nominee can beat Obama.

Mitt Romney's Wealthy Donors May Be Fleeing Campaign: Report

[DonViejo]

1. Iceberg ahead...

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Capt. Mitt: Damn the torpedos, full speed to the bottom.

[DainBramaged]

4. Boat already sunk

[msanthrope]

2. Rats fleeing. nt

[C_U_L8R]

5. Mitt is a lousy investment

these jerks know better than to waste their money on MItt

[bloomington-lib]

6. That's too bad. I'd rather them keep wasting their money.

[rhett o rick]

7. I agree. This is not good news. nm

[0rganism]

17. i was hoping they'd sink money into him for another 2 weeks at least

oh well, maybe if Rmoney does well in the first debate, they'll come scrambling back.

[AikidoSoul]

19. Repugniks money spent on Senate seats is not seen as a waste

by them.

There are several very close races.

In 2012, 23 Democratic Senate seats will be up for grabs, as opposed to 10 Republican seats. A pick-up of four seats could give the GOP a Senate majority.

I think DUers need to pay attention and get with the senatorial campaigns. We don't need another obstructionist Congress.

[Bozita]

8. rats, sinking ships

[Indi Guy]

9. Shields up!...

[Purveyor]

10. Don't get to complacent...this is coming out of fox news and everything they do has a 'motive'

behind it.

[Iliyah]

11. I want to believe it because now the rich donors

are starting to whine about how MEAN O is to them and he is treating them like ummmmmmmmmmm minorities. All the nasty shit from day one railed against O and y'know what, O have more Christian values in his pinky finger than all of the GOPpers combined. When he wins of course he will reach across the aisle with a olive branch and guess what, the GOPpers and their rich donors will shit on it.

[DCBob]

12. cut your losses..

abandon ship!

[Third Doctor]

13. Mitt deserves this.

I bet some of those donors jumping ship were at that dinner at which he demeaned the supposed 47%. Then again since this is coming from Fox news this may be a way to lull us into a false since of security. If this is true that money may be spent on the close senate races also.

[Ash_F]

14. This is kind of bad news.

Dems need those Senate and House seats.

[jsr]

16. Yes

Their money will buy a lot of negative ads against Democrats.

[adigal]

15. When you whore yourself out, and start to stink, the pimps flee

Which is what is happening to Romney. He whored himself to the highest bidders.

[not fooled]

18. Hahahahaha...bad call...too late

Wonder how many hundreds of millions the plutocrats sunk into this abysmal candidate...


...bet that "investment" isn't looking so good now.

And to think that the nail in the coffin was forcing that POS candidate Ryan onto the ticket...hubris as its finest.

[dflprincess]

20. Just rats doing what rats do
