The Romney campaign is experiencing what some officials believe could be the beginning of a mass exodus of big money donors diverting their cash away from the Republican presidential hopeful and toward Republican candidates for the House and Senate races more likely to win in November, the FOX Business Network has learned.
The trend isnt at the acute stage, at least not yet, said one person with direct knowledge of the matter. This person, a major player in Romneys New York fundraising circles, confirmed to FOX Business that a few New York donors have backed away from financial commitments to the Romney campaign and instead said they will spend their money to help the Republicans hold on to the House of Representatives, and pick up seats in the Senate.
But another person with direct knowledge of the matter says the trend, though nascent, is more geographically broad based, and reflects an increasing degree of anxiety both with what they believe is the tentative nature of the Romney campaign, and recent poll numbers that show President Obama with a lead, particularly in key battleground states, that some Republican contributors are starting to believe is insurmountable.
The knee pad media would never report any negative info from the Obama camp.
There is some negative info allegedly leaking from the Obama camp, but you have to decide whether it is believable.

“They are somewhat to blame, but the GOP-e is mostly to blame for forcing a cnadidate that 3/4 of the party despises.”
That’s ridiculous. “despises”? That sounds just like the kind of hyperbole that the Dems and the MSM use. If you despise him, don’t vote for him; you’ll get what you must want, 4 more years of Obama.
The Big Donors believe the propaganda... as do most Americans.
Isn’t he that old fat guy that was on TV cuddling up to Nancy Pelosi in that globull warming ad? Yeah why couldn’t we have had that guy. He would have closed the gender gap vote for sure. Who cares that he couldn’t beat that ‘stiff’ you keep referring to, he would have destroyed Obama by winning over a lot of globull warming democrats.
/S
I know a lot of people don’t want to hear this, but the conservative Republican bench was horrible this year. Every candidate had deep flaws, and the knee pad media would have destroyed them.
I’m no fan of Romney, but he was frankly the only one without insurmountable baggage. Hopefully, the conservatives can start developing a candidate that can pick up after Romney. Ryan seems like a good candidate.
“Charles Gasparino is no flack and you should know that. He has heard something that matters and reported it...” Blah blah blah!
______________________________________________
I could give a rats A$$ about Mr. Gasparino. The talking heads and MSM would say a rainy day would favor Obama and hurt Romney. Sorry, but this piling on is getting old, and it simply does not match reality. Funny, where was Mr. Gasparino when Romney was taking in record donations...hmm? Mr. Gasparino can go join the other egg-heads who most often DO NOT GET IT RIGHT.
This hand-wringing by FReepers is pathetic.
What’s the big deal anyway? Voters that turn out to vote for GOP House and Senate candidates are also likely to vote for Romney too.
“If Romney should pull this off, I swear, it will be against his will. This is exactly what an empty suit looks like.”
Hmmmm, we have one empty suit and one empty chair. There’s a joke in there somewhere.
Hysteric much? Calling others liars when you can’t cut a case, is a testimony for having no case. Cheer up. Send mitt a check.
LOL! An interesting observation!
“There sure are a lot of LIMP D*CKS with short memories around here this time around.”
And that coming from a “sticky willie”, lol.
Didn’t Rush say during the primaries that TPTB wanted Romney because whomever we nominated was going to lose but at least with him we had a chance at the Senate?
“There sure are a lot of LIMP D*CKS with short memories around here this time around.”
And that coming from a “sticky willie”, lol.
Rush is right on this. These polls, and other data showing Obama “miles ahead of Romney” do not match reality. But still, FReepers eagerly lap it up. And you guys have the nerve to call Romney weak?
What a bunch of Pantie-waists.
Well then, looks like Romney needs to work on his communication skills. The media's not going to help him. Not now. He's already the nominee - their work is done now.
Time for Romney to stop saying Obama's a "good man" and start campaigning against him before he loses all of his big donors.
Gee you always previously POSTED HOW YOU HATE THE gop and have nothing to do with it.
Weird how they have your phone number ?
You can't keep your latest astroturf straight.
Say Hi to David Axelrod during the next confernce call !
“Were they planning to spend that billion dollars this election cycle or the next cycle? Or are they spending it all on high-priced consultants?
And what exactly is Karl Rove’s salary at Crossroads, Crossroads, GPS, etc? $1 million? $10 million? $50 million?”
I got an email from the Romney campaign tonite saying they have been using a lot of their money on organizing the ground game which is where they feel the battle will truly be fought out. So that is where a lot of the money is going.
As to Karl Rove, so many like to slam the guy of late, although you all loved him when Bush was running. Rove has done yoeman’s duty collecting money for his super pac; he has been the main force behind it, and lots of the money he is gathering is going for Senate and House campaigns all over the U.S. So I wouldn’t be too quick to knock him day and night.
My guess is, you were one of the FReepers joining Politico and other Left-leaning rags in trashing our GOP candidates. Now you have the nerve to bit*h about Romney. Like I said, if you don't like the field, get off your lazy a$$ and run for President.
Are you sure that it isn’t just one Brazilian dollar?
