She will first meet with deep-pocketed donors at a home in Cape Elizabeth, then headline a rally at the Ocean Gateway terminal on Portland's waterfront.

Her visit will certainly energize party activists, but money is its primary purpose. Today ends the year's third-quarter period for campaign finance reports.

WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney’s campaign aides estimate that they will raise much less this fund-raising quarter than his $18.2 million haul in the previous three months.

Washington (CNN) - Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will report having raised between $11 and $13 million over the last three months, according to a source familiar with the tally.

Romney's top 3 contributors are all bailed out financial losers who couldn't compete on an even playing field, and their contributions exceed those of Obama and Paul's top contributors. Romney's 2nd largest contributor isn't even a U.S. company. This is an outrage, as is the fact that Romney would even accept this filthy money.

What a disgusting pig.

Ron Paul's contributors are also worthy of scrutiny. The opposition always gets controlled. When mainstream media stops ignoring or ridiculing him, then you will know that he has been finally bought or controlled.

Re Goldman contributions Obama vs. Romney. Notice who got the most money - by far! Must mean Goldman thinks Romney willl be victor and that they also think they will get much more favorable treatment from the Repub side. Well, duh!

Yes Miss Daisy, banks traditionally get better treatment from the Republicans. That is part of why we are where we are now...

While your're at it you might want to point out that GoldmanSach's donation to Romney was over 6 times as large as it was for Obama... whose largest donation was only a couple of thousand more than Romney's 5th largest donor.
Address all the facts, not just the ones that support your argument.

AzD...

As long as we're talking about facts, remember that Goldman was Obama's largest contributor in 2008. They are supporting Romney now, but Obama does not have clean hands regarding Goldman.

I'm amazed to see google so high on Pauls list of contributors, althogh it is about 1/5 as much as to Obama. GohBokhor, you may be right. "When mainstream media stops ignoring or ridiculing him, then you will know that he has been finally bought or controlled. " the only other explanation would be that they THINK they have got him and he's playing along for a while. I predict either a very short lifetime for him if he tries that route, or avoiding that a brawl with the money junkies will likely turn violent, because that will be all they have left.

Umm...I could photoshop a chart like this that says absolutely anything I wanted it to. How about a citation?

This sort of "strip it and steal it" model is entirely legal. But the question is not whether something is legal -- it is whether it's a model we ought to encourage and base our economy upon, and whether someone who has practiced this destruction of American jobs and the offshoring of capital should be elected President.

The answer, quite simply, is no.

Give me a break... If anyone thinks this photo-shopped picture you're the reason our country is in the toilet. Liberal Idiocracy. Obama backers are so afraid of anyone else that can win the Presidency they leak doctored photo's like this one which can't be corroborated anywhere else on the internet. People might not like it that bailed out banks are contributing to campaigns but I say get over it. Banks have been contributing to campaigns for over 50 years.

Do some research. This photo is not without citation. And the newer numbers for Romney look even worse. This was not a post in support of Obama. In fact, Obama and Romney are the same candidate. The point here was to show the difference between the 2 of them and Ron Paul.
