ROMNEY DMFB

Mitt Romney Gives Money to His Presidential Campaign Again

BOSTON — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Monday he has given money to his campaign for a second time and may do so again before Saturday's fundraising deadline.

"My message is important and critical to get out in this country, and I recognized that there are a lot of people making big contributions," Romney said. "It would be nice not to have to loan or contribute to your campaign. But the reality is if you want to have a strong campaign that gets out there and can talk across the nation, your going to have to do what's necessary."

I think he is doing this to also send a message towards those thinking of joining the race. "I'm Mitt Romney, and I will make this a slogfest for you if you choose to join after this reporting deadline."

See my poker analogy below.

Mitt Romney just raised everyone after the flop, but it's the right thing to do with three-of-a-kinds in Holdem: Play 'em quick, and Play 'em and hard.

Can't let anyone catch a straight or higher, and make sure that if they do try to fish for the card, they pay dearly for it.

I like Romney but how is this a good thing? Didn't he originally say he didn't want to donate much to his campaign? Could this be a sign that he's not bringing in as much money as he'd hoped?

Yeah, It's a double edged sword to use your own money, but in the end it depends on how you "spin" it.
