{When a candidate has already spent $20 million of his own money before the first vote, I say that man wants the presidency way too much.}

In some men’s league, spending 40,000 on a fishing boat is a statement. In Mitt Romney’s league spending 50,000,000 on a run for President is less likely to affect his lifestyle than a vanity purchase. Notice how no one questions his desire or motivation for the job.

Truly remarkable statement. Did not say a thing about affecting his lifestyle. But you can bet your last dollar that for Mitt, this is a vanity purchase. His "stated" platform is no different than any other, he is not offering anything new. Therefore he is spending (you say) $50 million for a $250k a year job. Not about power or vanity huh. Guess he should buy a 40k boat, heard he's a lifelong fisherman too.
