WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney raised $14 million from April through June for his Republican presidential campaign and tapped his personal wealth for a $6.5 million loan.

Romney's fundraising fell short of his first quarter, when he raised $20.6 million and lent himself $2.35 million.

Romney aides said he had $12 million cash on hand, equal to the amount he had in the bank at the end of the first quarter. The figures place Romney solidly ahead of rival John McCain, who reported $11.2 million raised during the period and $2 million cash on hand. McCain reported having 72,000 donors overall.

Romney's other leading rival for the GOP nomination, Rudy Giuliani, had not reported his second quarter totals.
