Mitt Romney, his family, staff and supporters donated a combined $66,000 to help Tim Pawlenty retire the debt left over from his presidential campaign.

Romney, his wife, five sons and brother, as well as his associates from Bain Capital were among those cutting maximum checks to Pawlenty, according to a POLITICO analysis of campaign filings released Tuesday.

Romney could have done it with pocket change, but that would have been *his* money. Thus, he asked his supporters to give up a few bucks.

Sounds like one of the .001%, in practice.

Read the article. There is a maximum limit an individual can donate. Each gave the maximum.

Yep. Mitt is trying to buy the Presidency. He has a power lust. Mitt doesn't give a sh** about our Republic.

I loathe him more with each passing day.

Romney is either tidying up finances for a future running mate or he bought a big Midwest endorsement.

Never had much use for Pawlenty, but I thought he may have at least a little integrity. Wrong. Another pol bought and paid for.
