(Newser) – Riding high on his first debate performance, Mitt Romney has more good news: His campaign raised $170 million last month, nearly matching Obama's killer $181 million haul, the New York Times reports. What's more, Romney's campaign is hosting a 3-day donor retreat at the New York Waldorf-Astoria hotel this weekend. Donors get to attend a gala reception dinner and see comedian Dennis Miller, but will be asked to work the phones too. Entrance fee for “Republicanpalooza”: $50,000.

What a waste of money.  If he wanted to help America, just think of all the children who go to bed hungry, that would feed.  RMoney and Pinocchio Ryan, are scums of the earth.

Jeez,  I wonder how much he is paying his campaign "Consultants" and how much is getting kicked right back to him into off-shore accounts. Things that make you go Hmmm...
