How Much Of His Own Money Has Rmoney Spent Running For Offices?.....

[global1]

As Governor of Mass? As President in the previous contests? And now running for the nomination and now the presidency?

How much of his own fortune has he spent? I'm sure that there is probably record of that $ amount.

1. I'm sure it's measured in tons

He's been running forever. His time as governor was just to build he resume. He was running long before that.

2. Wouldn't surprise me if it was $0.....

he's the master of using OPM to enrich himself.

4. I Seem To Recall During The Run-Up To The 2008 Election That He Spent A Lot Of His Fortune Running..

for the nomination and that there was concern that his sons wouldn't be left with much to share. What I'm trying to get to is if they say he is worth only $250 million. How much of that was spent on his constantly running for some office or other?

My gut is that he is worth a lot more than $250 and that all the money he has spent running thus far is a mere pittance of his true fortune. I just don't know where to go to get those figures of how much of his personal fortune he spent running and was hoping that someone here on DU can help quantify that.

I recall reading one story saying that it was a condition of Anne's that he could run again if he didn't touch their money.

7. Probably about 55-60 million, Gov race about 6mil., 2008 about 45-48 mil, senate race?

This 2012 cycle zero to tiny.

8. In 2008, he spent over 40 million. So far in 2012 he's spent virtually nothing

out of his own pocket:
