In New Hampshire today, Mitt Romney will formally launch his presidential campaign. It's hardly a surprising
development. Romney's second bid for the Republican nomination began the day his first ended. He has essentially been running for president since he
decided not to seek reelection as governor of Massachusetts in 2006 (arguably since he changed his position on abortion the year before).
This
time, Romney is the closest thing the GOP field has to a frontrunner. He leads among the declared candidates in most national polls. He is heavily
favored in New Hampshire and, with Mike Huckabee out of the race, he is now in first in Iowa. In addition to his own personal wealth, Romney has been
a prodigious fundraiser. At a time when campaigns are often judged by the success of their Internet "money bombs," Romney hauled in $10
million in a single day.
Thank You! Special thanks to everyone who helped to make our
most recent fundraising effort a success. Proceeds will go toward an upcoming feature on campaign financing corruption.
Know that our small (but spry!) band of investigators, reporters, and editors
will work feverishly to put your precious dollars to good use. Stay tuned.
