Why is Romney having to borrow money?

You are correct, his campaign announced they borrowed $20million in August. What was not made public was how and why. The money was borrowed from Romney. This common in both parties, and the reason is simple. A candidate can't appropriate money from the campaign for his own use, but he can loan money to that campaign at any rate of interest he chooses to. So with a $20million loan at 200% interest, Romney can legally transfer $60million back to his personal wealth. Of course it is done with a lot of obfuscation, smoke and mirrors, but that is the simplified description of the process. So if you donate money to his campaign, a large chunk of it goes into his pocket. Doesn't make Carl Rove real happy, but Romney's political career is over and he might as well steal while he can.

Hes worth hundreds of millions. It's like a working stiff buying a washer-dryer on his Discover card. No big deal to him.

"I thought he was supposed to be way ahead in fund-raising?"

He probably is. Most candidates these days seem to think that the key to election success is spending the most money on annoying TV commercials and automated phone calls.

It was a float before he was the official candidate and he could recieve the federal funds.

Romney is a Republican. It is all paid back.

Unlike Hillary that stucks vendors and had others pay the remaining bills.

I got a thumb down for correcting you out of date rant? LOL

He refuses to take money from terrorisits.

Rezko business partner Abdelhamid Chaib donated $10,000 to Obama, then was convicted on federal corruption charges in 2010 after trying to pressure a Chicago hospital executive to steer contracts to Rezko companies.

Another Rezko partner, Ali Ata, was a key witness during Rezko's 2008 federal corruption trial. He donated $5,000 to Obama's campaign and claimed to have given an additional $10,000 in "straw donations."

Ata was a former president of the Chicago Chapter of the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee.

"Ali Ata donated $5,000 to Obama's campaign." Mohammed Ata flew an airplane into the World Trade Center and killed thousands of brilliant, hard-working, family men and women.

That was from before the convention and before he was officially nominated. Therefore it was from a period of time when he couldn't touch most of the campaign money.

I guess the Koch brothers pulled the plug.

He is ahead. He is borrowing money so he can spend even more in the last month.

Get ready for wall to wall Republican lies and innuendos.
