Well, in fairness, Newt has been able to continue in the race lately as a result of getting almost all of his recent funding from a single couple in Nevada to the tune of 10 million dollars. (Which would be equal to 100 people giving $100,000 each, wheras Mitt had 41 who gave at least that much.)
So this arguement cuts both ways. Fact is, whomever we nominate...and God help us make it the most conservative cnadidate we possibly can, will have to get funds from wealthy GOP supporters as well as the rank and file if there is a hope to counter the billion dollar war chest Obama is amassing.
Good point. The Citizens United decision has turned candidate selection over to the rich. Talk is cheap but microphones to be heard cost a lot of money. Negative ads need funds.
Increasing taxes, capping greenhouse gasses, legalizing gay marriage, and backing Hillary Clinton for president — these are the recent political and policy priorities of Mitt Romney’s very biggest financial backers.
are thy the core of the establishment?
