Romney's April fundraising haul...

Romney + RNC - $40.1m vs Obama + DNC - $43.6m

It's very worrying that he's managed to raise almost as much as President Obama WITHOUT the GOP super pacs, isn't it?

I know some will accuse this of being 'concern trolling' but honestly, we've seen the power of money in political advertising. The hope has to be that this is just a one-off 'nomination bounce'.

If not, how will maybe $800m raised by Obama + super pacs compete with the $2b plus that the other side will no doubt see when you factor in their own pacs and the hundreds of millions of his own money Romney will no doubt 'repatriate' from Switzerland?

I'm calling shenanigans on the "95% $250 or less", by the way!

2. "sky is falling, etc, etc"

!!!!!

But seriously now...it's reason to be a LITTLE bit spooked, isn't it?

3. More than a little. n/t

4. A concern. We will see if the debates and other campaigning

will overcome any money imbalance.

5. Hollywood and

ANY left-leaning businessmen (Buffet, Soros I'm thinking of you...) really need to reach into their pockets now or the right-wing machine will buy eight years of Romney and at least a single term, probably two for his VP afterwards.

They talk the talk, but will they walk the walk?
