I thought Romeny sunk many millions of his own money into his campaign.

He did, but he raised a lot, too.

Romney raised 104,791,966, which is more than McCain has raised to date, but I don’t know if it includes what he (Romney) gave himself.

Interesting numbers, either way.

I thought Romeny sunk many millions of his own money into his campaign.

I've heard something like $44 million of his own money.

McCain needs his money now, because he's ditched like half a dozen of his campaign staff because they are/were lobbyists, and apparently a lot of other lobbyists are getting really pissed off - they were some of his big money raisers. There was an article, forget which news organization it was, but it quoted a lobbyist who was friends of one of those fired by McCain as saying something like "what, we were good enough for John McCain in February, but we aren't good enough for him in May?"

So yes, Romney will be on the ticket.
