Will Romney buy the White House? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 4, 2008 1:00 a.m. Eastern Mitt Romney might go down in history as the presidential candidate who spent more of his personal income than any other in his pursuit to win the White House. It is estimated that he has already used $35 million of his roughly $250 million personal fortune. And if Mitt makes the cut for the Republican nomination, over the next 10 months he will surely surpass Ross Perot's $60 million infusion into his own 1992 candidacy. p>

Hmm wonder how much he had to pay Rush and Sean.. I’m sure their Allegiance wasn’t cheap...
Sorry, Chuck, we’re not going for Mike “Open Borders for Jesus” Huckabee aka “Tax Hike Mike” aka Gomer Pyle. Go sell Total Gyms to insomniacs....
Hucksterbee a fiscal conservative? Thats a laugher!
If Obama takes in 32 million in one month...is he not buying the white house?
Dear God I hope he has a chance to get there, even if he has to buy it.
You can't "buy" the White House.
Every serious candidate spends millions on his campaign.
Most candidates spend millions of other people's money in their campaigns, so they owe lots of favors to those contributors afterward.
Isn't it better to owe fewer favors by spending your own money?
Is it eeeeeeeevil to be wealthy and to spend your own money, Chuck?
Stick to acting and fighting, they're what you do best. Politics ain't your strong suit.
I don’t know the Forbes Presidency worked out great for the four years after he bought the White House.
Oh wait that’s right Forbes didn’t win even though he could have bought Romney’s fortune several times over.
I do think Chuck has stepped outside his area of epxertise....
Rush Limbaugh could buy and sell Mitt Romney. Try again.
Chuck Norris just lost my respect with this kind of drivel.
I am not, and have never been, a Huckabee supporter, but if Chuck can not argue on the issues and has to resort to cheap-shots about how much money is spent in a campaign, then he has lowered himself to Democrat levels in the rhetoric.
I personally don’t care how much a candidate has to spend to win a political office, and so much the better if it is his own money.
The Huckster and his surrogate Mr. Norris must be running out of anything substantive to attact Mitt with.
Also, I am not much of a Mitt supporter either, Thompson has been my man up to this point, however, Mitt is WAY better than McCrazy, and I don’t trust Mike “Tax and Spend” Huckabee.
Every president in modern times has paid for the White House. The only difference with Romney is he’s paying for it himself instead of having the money “lent” to him by fat cat donors and other special interest groups. The net result is that Romney will not owe anybody any favors and that would be a refreshing change.
good question ... I wonder why the talking conservative heads never question his flip flopping or his recent panderings (like a Democrat) in Michigan? Why do they give him such a free pass?
Money? Maybe.
good grief. Chuck was right about one thing, mcpain is too old. If it is mcpain/huck.... double yuck, no way.
Besides, Huck called me a racist and his fellow republicans shiites.
Cheap shots, nothing presidential in there. he has no class.
Chuck getting into the class envy battle.
Huckabee has sold his soul for his votes, Romney has just used his hard-earned cash to try to country the hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertising offered to Rudy Giuliani and John McCain.
You can buy name recognition, but you can’t buy votes. You can’t always scare them up either with a roundhous kick.
Yes, but he's buying it the liberal way, with other people's money.
No, it looks like either Soros or all of McCain’s lobbyist buddies will buy the WH
