A few of these people might not actually be related to Mitt, but I recognize most of them as such. I guess it doesn't hurt to have a large family willing to contribute on your behalf.

Out of fairness, other candidates also received family contributions (some possibly over 10K), which is perfectly legal, but the amount Mitt received from his family was quite...impressive.

I know a bunch of Romneys and actually like them quite a lot. That being said, the Romney's are more prolific than rabbits. They also have a lot of money.
