Mitt the Money Man

Another piece on Mitt’s fundraising prowess, this time from Chris Cilizza at The Fix:
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has emerged as the leading alternative to Arizona Sen. John McCain in the 2008 Republican presidential sweepstakes for a number of reasons — the most important of which is his fundraising ability and successful courtship of big-dollar donors.
Romney has several built-in national networks — the Church of Latter Day Saints, the Republican Governors Association, Bain & Company — that any candidate other than McCain would kill for. And, Romney has not been shy about tapping these various groups to raise cash in support of his presidential ambitions. From April 1 to June 30, Romney collected nearly $3.5 million through six Commonwealth committees — a federal PAC and state-based PACs in the early primary and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Michigan and Arizona.
Another in a long line of reasons why Governor Romney is truly the man to beat in 2008.
