Mitt Romney Super PAC has been machine of destruction for his opponents

Whenever Republican U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been down and in need of an enforcer, one has been there to prop him up.

Restore Our Future, the independent “Super PAC” that supports Romney’s campaign, has been a machine of destruction in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, swamping Republican rival Newt Gingrich with attack ads each time he has seemed to threaten Romney’s frontrunner status.

the group’s financial reports to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) reveal that private equity executives, hedge fund managers and other financial heavyweights are key contributors to the fundraising juggernaut that Restore Our Future has become.

The filings reveal that Restore Our Future had $23.6-million in the bank as of Dec. 31 — more than the Romney campaign itself. The PAC has spent $17.4-million in support of Romney, including nearly $11-million in Florida. Among the most generous contributors to Romney’s cause have been people who share Romney’s investment background.

A study by the Wesleyan Media Project shows Romney and his allies, particularly the Restore Our Future super PAC, had aired 12,768 ads in Florida compared with 210 for Gingrich and his allies.

Romney and Restore Our Future spent a combined $6.28 million on Florida ads in the final week leading to the primary, according to figures provided to the Associated Press. The total spent in Florida - $15.3 million for Romney and Restore Our Future.99% of Romney ads were negative attacks on Gingrich. 100% of the super PACs ads were negative against Gingrich.

Mitt is STILL trying to buy the nomination, by smearing Gingrich, whom he, his Wall Street supporters and the putrid GOP elite fear most.
