Romney shakes down 6.5 large from the usual

suspects in a marathon fundraising session yesterday at the Convention Center. So I read in the Boston Metro, two of his phone bankers were Lex Luthorish multi-millionaire Sean Healey and his hapless wife, Kerry the Former Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth. Clearly, Scary Kerry was working off some of the debts she ran up last year running for Governor on the Hubby's dime.
Meanwhile, Humble Elias suspects Sean wants to be Ambassador to Jamaica in a Romney Administration...his wife can always telecommute to whatever criminologist gig she ultimately lands.
6.5 million though, is a LOT of money kids, don't mistake that. As a fundraising operation yesterday's marathon was a sccess...but as far as scaring anyone out of the race it's a flat bust. While Mitt was piling up the shekels, Senator Brownback was calmly calling the Former Viceroy a faggot-coddler and a frequent eater of babies.
Which raises an interesting question going forward, can Willard realy stand up to a serious negative campaign, repleat with accusations of war crimes, cannibalism and necorphilia?
I say no.
The guy has one win under his belt and one big loss...he has never experienced the sheer tsunami of rage and hatred that can define a contested GOP primary. I say he folds like cheap suit when the harsh political language starts up.
Alan Cranston and John Connolly both raised a lot of money on their way to political oblivion...don't forget that.
