/ Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Mitt Romney’s standing as the presumed frontrunner may be getting a serious challenge these days, but his status as the top fundraiser in Florida has never been more secure.

According to the most recent campaign finance disclosure reports, Romney has raised $4.6 million just from Floridians.

No other Republican Presidential candidate has topped $800,000 in the state.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who dropped out of the race in January, is second with about $787,000. He is followed by Ron Paul, who has raised $767,000 from people from Florida.

Newt Gingrich has raised about $740,000 from Florida, while Rick Santorum has raised just $125,000 in the state.

Mitt Romney can raise all the money he wants and I would never vote for him. It shows he is irresponsible by tying his dog to the roof of the car. Business man or not this is despicable. The poor dog became sick and Romney hosed it down with water at a gas station. We have 2 dogs and would never be that abusive to them. They give you their unconditional love. Sheesh!!!
