If you take away his personal loan Romney hauled in $20.6M in 1Q new money towards the primary campaign. Rudy raised about $14M and McCain about $12.4M by the same standard. Brownback raised $1.3M and Huckabee $0.4M that way as best I can tell. I saw a UK article in which Tancredo, who just formally entered the race, claimed about $1M, but haven’t seen any US articles confirming that. I haven’t seen any reports from Tommy Thompson, another recent entry, nor any from Duncan Hunter, a less recent entry with many vocal Freeper fans. One wonders whether, like Obama, they are too disorganized to report timely or whether they just don’t have any funds to report. Hillary reported $26M in new fund raising, but won’t breakdown how much of that is for the primary vs. how much is towards the general election. Rumors suggest Obama may end up in Romney’s neighborhood and Hillary’s, primary only, new take might end up less than Romney’s. Edwards took in $14M, Richardson $6M, Dodd $4M and Biden $3M in new funds. If after Obama’s numbers and Hillary’s breakdowns are in Romney really is the winner in new 1Q primary funds he will have earned some chest thumping. He might be the only candidate to have actually beaten Hillary in anything, he’d have done it in her presumed strength and he’d have done it from a level of name recognition she hadn’t known for 16 years. With GOP voters scrambling from bandwagon to bandwagon on the basis of electability that should help.

I found this impressive article in April’s Newsmax about Mitt Romney; Found it very interesting.

Romney already is the winner in GOP fundraising.

Just another in a long list of chest-thumping accomplishments for him.
