This excessive spending from the Mitt Romney camp, and the consultancy experience from running of the the major behind the scene operators,like Bain ! can or should cause concern. Have we not had enough of these too many behind the scene players in the Present Bush Administration- with Romney this will only take off, as Management consultants have excelled being overpaid and passsing the buck of true responsibility, besides leaving behind scandals.? Corporate America has already interfeared enough these last 8 years , from now on with Mitt, we will not even imagine the possible horror of the New Future , like the New World Order Bush Senior promised back in 1991 - it took 9 years for that plan to be put in place !

It's obvious Moneybags Romney is trying to buy the White House. Someone should do an analysis of "dollars per vote." I bet Romney has the worst average in history.

wow.... if i had millions of dollars and i was running for president i would be spending as much as possible..... any one thats saying hes trying to buy the white house is just stupid.... and just because there good at doing bussiness doesn't mean their obsessed with corporations and stuff like that.. it just means that hed be a good president and good at managing money.

It sounds kinda sad that the initial states (Iowa of all places) should have a domino effect on the subsequent primaries. It implies that people in the subsequent states can't think for themselves: If Obama or Huck wins in Iowa, then I better for him too!!! Why not have all primaries on same day - how much influence are the final states going to have? By the time the last primaries are done, the story is pretty much told.

All the candidates talk about change, Only Mitt talks about how he'd change the country. Mitt Romney is the MAN!!

Romney the Robot candidate. He was liberal on all the issues until He decided to run for President. They decided he needed to be conservative to win. So they reprogrammed to be conservative on all issues. Obama is beating Hillary by claiming to be the candidate of change. So, naturally they are reprogramming robot Mitt to be the Republican copy of Obama.

Romney has more to spend. He has taken in alot of campaign donations along with his own money which he has worked hard to earn and deserves to spend it however he likes.

Apparently the Robo-Candidate set includes an ample supply of droid units which gush recorded robo-praise from their playback circuits.

I notice the audience during the Repubhlican NH debate are quite, I hope
the Democratic audience is quite also,
noise from that rowdy Obama crowd. If they are rowdy ABC should throw them out

Romney has had to buy every vote he gets. Never underestimate the power of the Mormon Church. Much of Romney's campaign cash come straight from his own millions, so it gives you an inflated perception of his actual support base...its smaller than you think.

Romney spent $2,000,000 on a Straw Poll
$55,000,000 so far nationally
The richest "do as I say, not as I do" self-absorbed, pompous, phony. This aint a sport, it is our future

I liked how tough he is on illegal immigration. He is TOUGH! I loved how he beat McCain down! Although, I love Ron Paul.

Who better to fix the economy than a real smart businessman. And, boy does the economy need fixing. I really think Romney can do it. Let's give the guy a chance.

I am not sure what power of the Mormon church has to do with Mitt Romney running for president? He has stated his religious beliefs are what they are and they won't influence his presidential decisions. He is an extremley intelligent business man and knows how to run an effecient organization. Do any of you remember the success of the 2000 Winter Olympics? He reformed a complete mess into a phenomonal success. My votes for Mitt.

I don't understand the anti-Romney sentiment about his money. "He's rich and successful, so he must be corrupt and a liar...?" Is it really his success as a businessman that makes you distrust him?

And do you really want what you're implying he ought to be - an unskilled, unaccomplished populist who represents mediocre America? Why should skills and success translate into cynicism about his ability to lead?

Can anyone explain what the difference is in illegal immigrants paying coyotes to get them into the country and fining them for being here and letting them stay? The fine is playing the same game the coyotes play in squeezing the illegal immigrant. If you don’t enforce the law and deport them to their nation of origin it is amnesty. The illegal immigrants are responsible for their own children; born here or not. Their nation of origin is responsible for the welfare of there own citizens and if they don’t take responsibility them then shame on that nation. Any cost the US citizen pays for providing care for illegal immigrants should be billed back to their nation of origin.

A man ran for mayor of his city. He spent all he could afford to put up his signs. He refused to take a mayors salary, and served his term. Some in the town claimed he bought his way into office. Others said he was just power hungry. Those who ran against him denegrated him and called him superficial. The local newspaper had refused to endorse him, and supported his closest rival. His brother in law claimed he had two speeding tickets. A neighbor (his opponents brother) told everyone at the diner that he drove way over to the next town each sunday for who knows what. In the end, he got nothing for his efforts but a lot of grief, and all 200 people in town still called him by his first name...as he preferred. He didnt quit his mixed doubles bowling league, and he just kept farmin'. Oh he did wonder if he had wasted his money...but in the end he just said..well you cant take it with ya... and not one of his kids resented him spending his own money.

I can see that Romney is spending his money to buy message board comments too. Not surprising. That is his mode of operandus. And once again, it is transparent and insincere. Obama would just wipe him out among younger voters whose BS meter is acute.

The crowd cheered only once during the GOP debate.

When RON PAUL was talking constitution.

When you see a man, who actually understands it, talking about that document, it makes you proud to be an American. It might even make you clap even though you know you're not supposed to.
It makes you sad the other politicians give it lip service only and continue disregarding it in every day issues.

Ron Paul won the debate.
41% thought he looked most presidential of ALL on the FaceBook poll
(Romney only got 10%)

No one talked about the Clinton's money last time I checked. Only wealthy people can run for office if they want to go the distance. I am glad that he and his family cares so much about America that he would take his very hard earned money and spend it so we could possibly all have better lives. Yeah, he is pure evil!!! LOL!!!

Anything worth doing should get the resources needed. I applaud Romney’s personal commitment and his supporter’s genuine commitment. The other candidates need to put more of their own skin on the line. So far they are looking for more of other people’s money to spend. But I must say that the other candidates are being consistent with their policies of big government; get someone else to pay for it.

Right now, Romney has spent more money than the rest of the GOP candidates combined. I assume he is doing that because he thinks that spending money works.

I don't know about you, but I don't want my next President to be determined by who has the most money...but by who has the best ideas and principles.

Mitt treats this campaign like a business venture. And while good management is important in government, what matters more is principle.

Businesses try to anticipate consumer wants/needs and then persuade them to do businees. Great political leadership is based on vision.

If Mitt wins the Republican nomination, he will get torn apart by Obama. Mitt comes across as insincere and his campaign has only reinforced that. McCain, Huckabee and even Giuliani feel much more authentic.
