I heard some pundit say in a hushed voice that Mitt Dial-O-Matic Romney may have spent $40 million

[NNN0LHI]

Of his own money so far! Wow! That is the estimate. Is that possible? He better hope he wins something.

1. He's worth a few hundred, so it's possible.

2. Wonder why someone would invest 10s of millions of dollars to get a few hundred dollars a year job?

Must have a great benefits package.

3. Mitt's not saying (yet)

The next reporting period ends January 31, and at the last Republican debate, Mitt dodged the question. But his campaign has been largely self-funded to this point. Hard to say if Mitt could self-finance his entire campaign, but it is a curious thing for a man worth millions to be competing so hard for a job that pays so little by comparison.

4. Its not about the money

but you probably know that. Its about the power.
