It's a cinch he's not in it for the money.

Romney knows that despite all the moderate endorsement, the conservative base of the GOP is deeply unhappy with McCain. It’s turning to Romney, slowly, unassuredly perhaps, but it’s turning.

[logician2u]

Which conservative base, specifically?

[DTogo]

Chuck Norris was whining on Hannity & Colmes the other night that Romney is “buying the presidency.”

[libbylu]

No, I think he us in it for the best reasons. And I personally am so glad he has the money since I can only help so much. (He won’t rent the Lincoln bedroom either.

[Terpfen]

Thankfully.

[GOP_Lady]

Yep.

[rb22982]

I don’t know how you figure that, with McCain since Florida now polling ahead in solidly red states like Georgia and Alabama (with Huckabee in 2nd, and Romney a distant 3rd).

[Reaganite1984]

Chuck Norris is a dumb-ass who's taken to many karate chops to the head.

He should stick to hawking stupid exercise equipment people buy but never use.

[mcjordansc]

I guess $87-million does not go as far as it used to. All that money spent and he cannot win a contested primary (unless he is running as a favorite son).

[Reeses]

The Clintons are closing in on a $100 million post-presidency profit. He’ll get all the money back and then some if he wins.

[kbennkc]

I can’t believe he needed more dough . I am a thousandaire and I have sent him dozens of dollars . More than 8 dozen last night .

[Terpfen]

In the days of old, Norris would just use a roundhouse kick.

[mrsmel]

Oh cheez, they all “buy” it. He’s just willing to use his own money, IOW, put it where his mouth is.

[americanophile]

That large body that exists somewhere between the moderates and the FReepers. There are some who will never vote for Romney, that’s fine, but many, many other conservatives figure they will cast their lot with Romney rather than simply hand the nomination over to McCain.

[logician2u]

You may look on it as in investment, but I'm fairly certain Mitt Romney does not.

Clintons would sell their mother to the highest bidder, if she was still around to sell.

[Paleo Conservative]

It's a cinch he's not in it for the money.

What's the interest rate? If he just donted the money to his campaign, he couldn't later get reimbursed by donors. By loaning money to his campaign, he can get use political donations to repay the loans. The higher the interst rate he charges, the more he can get back as interest.

[Antoninus]

Hey, a few million here, a few million there. Soon we’ll be talking about real money!

[Tigen]

Things are about to change.

He's right. He's outspent everyone 3-1 else, except "Mr. $55-million-for-one-delegate."

And he's still going to lose.

May go down as one of the most outrageous power-grabs in American history.
