Romney's wealthy donors are tapped out and maxed out. They've already given the maximum legal amount ($2,500 individual, $5,000 couple) and can't give him any more.

The issue isn't small donors because Mitt doesn't have any.

I figured he had plenty of small donors in the form of fellow LDS members. Is that not the case?

I dunno, I can’t see the LDS leaders letting this slip away due to lack of funds.

Actually, he does...and quite a few of them. Recently, as he has been dropping in the polls, they have begun to dry up, but he still has them all over the country.

I expect, at any rate, that money will not be the issue for Mr. Romney. It will remain to be his past positions on the issues and his inability to effectively articulate how he came to the current positions that he is now espousing and wants us to get behind him on. Santorum has a much better record on the same issues, as does Newt...though each has their own baggage to one extent or another.

Rightn now, I am supporting Santorum, and then Newt.

If Romney somehow became the nominee, I would vote for him in order to defeat Obama. But that would be the condition upon which my vote for him would hinge.

As it is, in our Idaho caucus, I will be promoting and voting for Santorum...unless something happens between now and then and Newt rises again and is the best positioned to get the nomination.
