Related: About this forumAny Updates on Romney's September Fundraising Totals?
Obama and the Dems raised $180 million in September.
As far as I know, we haven't heard boo from Romney or the RNC, with the exception of that pimple Reince Priebus suggesting that they might not have matched that.
Every day that goes by without the disclosure, I subtract 10 mil from what I thought it might have been. We're descending fast. Is the Romney push of the last week motivated by the coffers running dry?

Why does this guy have to be constantly asked for his financials?

(36,437 posts)In September, they released their initial fundraising totals for August on September 3. Here we are on October 13, and we know Obama and the Dems raised $180 million in September, but no word on Romney totals?
Could it be under $100 million? Under 90? 80? 70?
Romney just did a $23 million ad buy all this week in the swing states. Does he have any money left? Why is Romney not complying with this mandatory FEC disclosure?

(36,437 posts)But the Obama people were very public about their September haul: 180 million between the Obama campaign and the DNC. Priebus stated that he didn't think they'd raised "quite that much." We'll see how short they actually fell.

He's above the law.
