Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Mitt Romney's Wealthy Donors May Be Fleeing Campaign: Report

Lol!  Seemingly counterintuitive, but for those of us who are not Americans (and never forget that the election is for the president of the United States whose job will be the interests of the United States - or in the case of Mitt - half of the United States), no more incomprehensible than the other issues that animate the politics of that country.

But the crucial question is: Republican in this universe, or in the parallel one?

"Mitt Romney's campaign may be suffering in more than just the battleground states.

 

Fox Business' Charlie Gasparino reports that some wealthy donors who have made financial commitments to the Romney campaign are reneging, and instead, opting to send their money to Republican House and Senate candidates who they see as having a better chance of winning next month.

 

Citing two sources, including "a major player in Romney's New York fundraising circles," Gasparino notes that some donors are losing faith that the Republican nominee can beat Obama.

 

As The Huffington Post's Mark Blumenthal reports, the president is ahead "by statistically meaningful margins in all of the battleground states except North Carolina."

Obama also leads Romney 49 percent to 47 percent among likely voters in a new nationwide Washington Post/ABC survey."
