2. The overage will go into a tax free Cayman Islands bearer account
|
Then some little known IRS rule will enable a tax accountant to also apply the losing funds as a tax credit for Romney's next return that will net him a refund of 40+ million dollars.

5. Yep. AP had the story earlier from an anonymous campaign official (see the other LBN topic on this)
|
But the tweets from the campaign have more information.
1.17 million donors. 97.7% of donations in August were $250 or less. |

7. They should spend a little of it to buy two new candidates

The ones they have now are not giving them good value for money.

9. The difference being that Romney's most likely come from a handful of bundlers
|
and creepy billionaires.
Whereas the President's donations usually come in $25.00 at a time. |
