The most reliable comment in this thread is that you have to read the NYT the way Russians used to read Pravda. Who has how much money stuck where is very difficult to pin down due to all the factors people have mentioned.
But how this “news story” helps the libs’ agenda is easy to figure out: scare Obama supporters into sending more $$, make Romney supporters feel complacent about their candidate’s chances (a feces-spewing monkey could beat BO only if the monkey was the more leftist candidate, and maybe gay — so he would be the one the media would be in the tank for).
You don’t have to love Romney; you just have to dislike Obummer and his policies more than you dislike Mitt. The Republican House can do nothing by itself — with a Democratic president and without a filibuster-proof Republican majority in the Senate, none of Obama’s “achievelments” will ever be undone.
Vote for Mitt in November and send him some money.
Remember that Romney will have the “super pacs” ready to go to take on any of the “radical left”, what they will come out with.
