Romney Kicked In Two Thirds Of His Fourth-Quarter Fundraising Total

Mitt Romney fourth-quarter fundraising numbers are in, and it's not a pretty picture. The official total raised is a seemingly-impressive $27 million — but $18 million of it came from Mitt himself. Romney ended the year with $9 million cash on hand, meaning that he would have been broke if not for his own contribution.

For this whole cycle, Romney has raised a total of about $53 million from other people, and kicked in $35 million himself. An interesting trend in his campaign has been that as the campaign has gone on longer, the proportion of money raised from others has gone steadily down, while Mitt has come to rely more and more on Tagg's inheritance.

Is the commenting working yet?

Mittmentum goes the other way, too.

Hey all, can you tell me if you're having success or trouble signing in?

I just created a new account and it seemed to go fine, quick and easy.

I sign in okay, but when I comment it sends me back to the comment page and logs me out :/

Senator Obama nailed Romney last night about his business management skills, based on the results on his return on his campaign investments this year. Doyle McManus all most lost it trying to keep from laughing at Senator Obama's quip.

I am sending this just to find out if the comment software is functioning yet. You could have picked a better time, than just before Super Tuesday, to renovate the site.

Testing the new login/commenting system - glad to see the kinks are starting to be worked out. This is the first post I could actually see who was posting.

Didn't Obama and McCain each agree to take public financing in the general, if both were nominated in the primaries??

I'm sure I remember this.
