Mitt Romney's October Surprise Is Going To Be Legendary

The thing about the set of leaked videos from a Romney fundraiser that nobody is talking about is this part: The video was taken at a $50,000 per plate fundraiser in Florida. You may not have noticed, but despite the blur there are a lot of plates in front of a lot of people.

This is what people are still not grasping about Romney: He's about to open up the money floodgates in a way that Obama can't match...

He still has a massive pile of money in his campaign coffers, and by all margins he's continuing to raise large amounts of money, as we've found through a look into the Center for Responsive Politics' database...

I've talked with some campaign people who are high up. This is a real worry. I"m going to give more than I had before. I advise everyone to give all they can.

I hope it's the beginning... bluesbassman Sep 2012 #1
