Money Pretty Much Falling into Mitt Romney's Lap

Now, I can understand that you may not think that fraternizing with a bunch of incredibly rich plutocrats would have its advantages. I mean, how much lemon-dipped caramelized foie gras can a person shove down his or her throat on a two-day yacht party?

But, I'll tell ya, this whole rich people friend thing actually seems to be working out pretty well for Mitt Romney…

Fresh off winning the New Hampshire primary, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney announced Tuesday morning that he raised $24 million in the last three months of 2012…

Romney’s haul dwarfs what his rivals have reported so far. Texas Rep. Ron Paul raised $13 million in the fourth quarter. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich raised $9 million.

From what I hear Rick Perry pulled in a cheese and pepper sandwich.

Well, most of one.
