Remember he raised over $10 million in one day in an orchestrated event in Las Vegas. It will be interesting to see how much money Michelle Bachmann has raised since she's considered a prolific fundraiser.
The $20 million Mitt?

Jonathan Martin and I gamed out the second-quarter numbers last week, with some top Mitt Romney advisers suggesting he would raise upwards of $20 million, a figure the AP's Philip Elliott reports as solid this afternoon:
Romney is expected to report raising $16 million to $20 million for the quarter, said two advisers who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss fundraising before the deadline. Romney, who pumped $42 million of his own fortune into his 2008 presidential race, was not planning to write himself a check this time and instead has canvassed hotbeds of GOP donors such as Texas, California and New York.
If it's true - and it would not be unheard of for a campaign to low-ball - it's certainly more than anyone else in the Republican 2012 field will report when disclosures are filed July 15.
But it's also less than what he raised in the first quarter of 2007 when he was last running for president, during a cycle in which Rudy Giuliani and John McCain had much of the coastal, Florida and Texas bundlers locked up.
