“Romney Fundraising Plan Comes with Risks”

Politico: “Mitt Romney’s most potent fundraising committee is paying to outsource a big part of its final campaign push to an unusual coalition of party committees. Romney Victory, the joint fundraising committee that has raised the lion’s share of the cash credited to Romney, revealed Monday evening that it had transferred $44 million to the GOP’s national congressional committees and the state parties in Idaho, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and Vermont. So, while the Romney campaign trumpets big fundraising numbers — committees supporting Romney raised a total of $170 million in September— not all of the cash is under the GOP nominee’s control, and that some of it could be used for Republican candidates or operations down-ticket.”
