The Romney Campaign raised over $1.2 million in three-plus hours after announcing running mate Paul Ryan.

No surprise there. The 1% is giddy with the anticipation of picking the pockets of the middle class to line their own. You mean we can get rid of employer social security and medicare taxes and invest the money in China! Pinch me, I must be dreaming!

Mitt Robme has been consistently outraising millions of dollars more than Obama for the past 4 months.

How much has Obama raised since Ryan was announced, huh, Libs?

Is Obama even out of the red ink yet? He ran a deficit not long ago in his campaign funding....just like REAL life!

You realize that, despite that he has been outraising Obama, Obama has been outspending him drastically and he is still under 50% and barely ahead with a Gallup approval rating of 43%? There have been far more anti-Romney ads than anti-Obama/pro-Romney ads. Romney is not allowed to spend most of his money until after the convention. Now he has more cash on hand than Obama and is continuing to raise more than Obama. When the Super PAC ads are factored in, there could easily be 3 anti-Obama/pro-Romney/pro-Ryan ads for every pro-Obama/anti-Romney/anti-Romney ad aired after the convention.

Uhhhh...why would Democrats donate to the Romney campaign? LOL...seriously? If Democrats think Ryan is such a good choice for them, wouldn't they think that a barrage of ads from the Romney campaign/pro-Romney Super PACs would be just about all that could cost them the election? Why would they want there to be far more pro-Romney/pro-Ryan/anti-Obama ads than pro-Obama/anti-Romney ads?

Your assertion makes absolutely zero sense.

This is true and Obama knows it. It is actually why Obama has been overspending to flood us with attacks on Romney. People who did not know that Election laws prevented Romney from spending money perceived it as weakness.

Obama's already doing that job for them. That's why Goldman Sachs execs got no jail time.
