Mitt Romney needs money. Well, he doesn’t really need money. He does have a personal fortune estimated to be a half billion dollars. What I should say is that Mitt Romney for President, Inc. needs money. This is the campaign fund that will support the most expensive presidential campaign in history. It is predicted that the Republican nominee as well as the Democratic nominee will need to spend as much as $500 million each before election day in order to compete.

Romney has already spent an estimated $800,000 for TV air time. A major expenditure continues to be air travel and hotel accomodations for his traveling staffers as well as traveling and event logistics and promotion. The campaign funds also pay salaries for his 65 staffers at his campaign headquarters in Boston, as well as 25 staffers in other key states. We won’t know all of the details until the financial reports from all cadidates are released to the public around April 15th. The reports will show income and expenditures through March 31, 2007

When the reports come out, Mitt Romney expects to make a good showing. A report that shows a tremendous amount of money raised will bring a lot of publicity in the news media. Such media reports help to elevate Romney’s name recognition nationally. A high number also says many things about the candidate. It says that he has a very broad appeal to a lot of voters who have each donated money. It also says that the candidate has the financial strength and fundraising prowess to put up a fight and to go the distance. If April’s report shows that Mitt Romney for President, Inc. has raised more than the John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, and other Republican campaigns, it will be a great victory.
Romney has scheduled 20 fundraising events this month, all ahead of that end of the month reporting deadline.

Some campaigns have set goals of $15 million to $20 million dollars. Mitt Romney should be able to reach the $15 million mark. He raised $6.5 million on his first day. Romney’s campaign has also announced that it has raised at least $1.4 million from internet donations.
