Here's the latest tally from the Mitt Romney fund raising event that I've seen published in the blogosphere at MyManMitt.com.

BOSTON --Republican Mitt Romney gathered more than 350 of his strongest supporters for a glitzy fundraising blitz Monday aimed not only at financing his fledgling presidential campaign, but also scaring off potential rivals and putting existing ones on notice.
The former Massachusetts governor raised more than $2.5 million in less than six hours, but he and his staff expected the daily total to smash earlier fundraising numbers for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also have created 2008 exploratory committees.
Both raised less than $2 million in their initial fundraising ventures.
"I think it's going to be a very strong message today -- to everybody," said Tom Tellefsen, a former Harvard Business School classmate of Romney's and President Bush who was a fundraising "Pioneer" and "Super-Ranger" for past Bush campaigns.
"I think it's going to be a strong message to McCain as well as Giuliani, and I think it's going to be a strong message to those that are considering or haven't really yet laid the groundwork that maybe they should have," added Tellefsen, a Romney national fundraising co-chairman.
Among those also considering campaigns, arguing conservatives aren't adequately represented in the current field, are Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas and former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore.
Romney, just four days after leaving office, and five days after forming his exploratory committee, staged an event far different from the hot dog-and-soda fundraisers that were a staple of Bush's two White House campaigns.
A four-screen projection TV system hung from the center of a ceiling at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, displaying pictures that included Romney in the Oval Office and at the presidential lectern.
Forty fundraising stations -- each "pod" with a supervisor and nine callers -- filled the floor.

I won't rule him out.
The total take for the day was 6.5 million. That's nothing short of astonishing.
How about saying something different this time? Or use bold or italics? Something to make it appear that you are saying something different instead of the same thing each time you post? Maybe some new anti-Romney links? New information, new facts or quotes?
Its the all-Anti-Romney all the time party baby!
Impress me!
Here's the latest tally from the Mitt Romney fund raising event that I've seen published in the blogosphere at MyManMitt.com.
A lot of money tossed down a rat hole!
The democrats are licking their chops over the MSM and RNC picks of Rudy, Romney and McCain.
It will be easy for the democrats to run right(fake of course) of any of the three.
Haley Barbour/Hunter is my choice!
What about Owens?
If you're thinking of Colorado Governor Bill Owens, here is some pertinent news:
01/05/2007
Governor Mitt Romney today announced that Colorado Governor Bill Owens (R-CO) and U.S. Representative Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) will serve as senior advisers to the Romney for President Exploratory Committee, Inc.
Yikes! $6.5 million raised today?? awesome!
"I won't rule him out."
I will. The Mormon thing is a cult, as anyone who studies it for more than five minutes knows.

Romney will be the next President, in spite of them.
Oh great, the umpteenth FR thread started in the last three months by the Romney shills. Why don't you shills take a break and relax for awhile? From your post it seems you're on the verge of some type of nervous breakdown.

Thank Moroni you've given us your leave to explain the many ways in which Romney will be hung out to dry. There are of course the waffling liberal tendencies of Mitt to lay him low, but there are also the bizarre cult beliefs of Mormonism to deal with too.
Since Allen was roasted on a trivial word like macaca, perhaps you will explain how someone whose Book of Mormon states non-whites are doomed is ever going to become president? And while you're at it, explain celestial marriage, crystal gazing, new Egyptian hieroglyphics, Hyrums witchcraft and a dozen other bizarre artifacts of Mormon belief. Oh yeah, Romney will be roasted at the political stake.
.....Romney will be the next President, in spite of them. (religious wackos, parenthesis mine)
Maybe we are just excited about our candidate. No other candidate has generated this kind of excitment.

I suggest people with an IQ over 20 would like to know what Mormonism is about before they elect one president. Here's a good place to start:
http://www.utlm.org/
And don't give me the "fastcoyote is a bigot" baloney, I have no problem with people worshiping whatever golden calves they want, but that tolerance doesn't qualify them to be president.
The more you know about Mormonisms roots in witchcraft, crystal gazing, Masonic ritualism, etc. the more you will understand that electing someone with those roots to the presidency will create chaos.
Now, since evangelicals are a strong fraction of the core base of the GOP, you have to figure the 10% who will view Romney an apostate and sit home will doom a Romney candidacy. So, do you want to hear the bad news now from me, or do you want to get wise as Hillary is being inaugurated?
"Oh yeah, Romney will be roasted at the political stake."
Which presidential/vice presidential candidate since 1960 has been carefully scrutinized about his/her religion?
How many of these candidates followed the same religious denomination as their parents?
Would FastCoyote favor a bad Baptist over a good Mormon?
Finally, is it even in the spirit of the constitutional to worry about the particular denomination a candidate follows?
Thinking about Romney's public career, has his Mormon faith harmed the public he served? Does he go to the job as Governor and say: "I take this position, because it is the position of the Mormon church?
