Romney campaign ad on now begging for money to stem the tide of socialism because

"if the election were held today, Obama would win." Begging for money and all you get is a Romney bumper sticker. Didn't catch what group was putting this out though.

It was on Martin Bashir's show.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What cesspool this guy wades in.

I just was floored by it. I heard some pundit say yesterday that the Rove has one month to spend $1B in. I thought that was part of Romney's deep pockets. Boy I hope he has to start backfilling with his own money.

The claim to need to gather 5 million signatures to elect Romney and turn back to clock on Obama. What a cluster! I have NEVER seen ANYTHING so desperate in my life. LOL!

why they are short on money. Apparently, Romney had to borrow $27m for his campaign. Had something to do with a cash flow problem and the fact that large chunks of money belonged to states which were using them for state races.

keep trending the way they are. You can't sell a product nobody wants no matter how much you advertise it. Ford Motors learned that with the Edsel.
