Romney had a call day in Boston today one year from their first call day when they raised 6.5 MM

Today, in Boston, fundraisers and friends gathered and raised over 5 Million dollars for the Mitt campaign. Compare that to Hillary who raised $750,000 the day after her stunning victory.

By the way, they raised almost $110,000 out of Arizona alone! Does that top McCain's total take.

Every year the University of Miami signs the most four and five star recruits, and every year they go 7-5.

First of all, Miami does not sign the most four and five star recruits. I believe USC has the last few years.

Secondly, your point is taken, but for someone who the pundits were saying had to win Iowa, and/or New Hampshire in order to remain viable, that's a pretty damn good fundraiser.

What's the source of your information? Also, who is giving Romney money? I was led to believe early on that most of his money came from Mormons, but that can't be possible. Who gives him money?

Romney's contributions are coming from more than just Mormons. Come on...Mormons are cheapskates. I'm sure he has a LOT of contributors from his business connections, and people he has worked with over the years. For example, Meg Whitman (CEO of eBay) is a huge Romney supporter, and heavily involved with his campaign. She worked with him at Bain years ago. She is one of the most influential executives here in Silicon Valley, and I'm sure she is helping to bring some of the money here into Mitt's campaign.

1.5 for the primary and 3.5 for the general.

I knew that Romney was going to have a call day today. Received an email regarding that yesterday. MittRomney.com has the announcement as well.

Saw the story scroll across the Fox news ticker.

If he wins in Michigan, expect him to retrieve that towel.

Will be very late to buy air time in SC by then.
Look at any map of "red states" and "blue states" and guess whether SC and FL or Michigan are more important to the Republican Party.
