After TV cameras leave, Romney PAC discloses $18 million
http://nbcpolitics.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/31/10283183-after-tv-cameras-leave-romney-pac-discloses-18-millionAfter the speeches were over and the TV cameras in Florida were turned off, the pro-Mitt Romney Super PAC called Restore Our Future disclosed its fundraising Tuesday night, just before the midnight ET deadline.
It showed total receipts of $17.9 million during the year (all during the last quarter) and spending of only $6.5 million, showing a huge bankroll for the primaries and general election. The figures for January are not yet included.
By contrast, a Super PAC supporting Newt Gingrich reported $2.1 million, not counting $10 million from a casino magnate donated in January.
The Super PAC supporting President Obama reported $4.4 million received by year end. A Super PAC supporting Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has dropped out of the Republican race, reported $5.5 million.
