Romney had 9.2 million from last quarter, got 9 million in donations.

Then Romney loaned himself 18 million....

Lets just keep this up forever so he has to spend his entire fortune and wont have anything left to run for president.

Well, he was wrong when he said he raised more money than any other candidate in that quarter, wasn't he?

He's not going to spend his entire fortune. He's really really rich.

He's rich but not THAT rich. I bet that 36 million was 10% of his fortune! Imagine, 10% of a family fortune tossed out the window :p

It's pretty sad when you have to use your own money. A direct reflection of the lack of support.

Actually, I heard that he was worth 250 mil, which means that he spent more than 10% so far. It has to be getting to the point when he might say enough is enough...

He is worth between 190 million and 250 million dollars.

So he spent anywhere from 14.5 percent to 19 percent of his money.

From Wikipedia:

Romney left Bain Capital in 1998 to head the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games Organizing Committee.[15] He and his wife have a net worth of between 190 and 250 million USD.[16]

Well he owns clear channel, so it's like he's paying himself.

I am sure a large portion of the spending went to ads on ClearChannel, which mostly goes right back to him anyway.

Edit: You just BARELY beat me to that!

romney's family is pissed at the money he is wasting on this thing and have pleaded with him relentlessly to pull out of the race..

That's one of the reasons Romney was crying the other night after the Florida primary results.. he has to face his family and tell them why he spent over $3 million in Florida to end up with zero delegates there.
