Romney's Gazillions

Mitt Romney's year-end campaign-finance report is in -- with two and a half hours to spare! -- and shows that he had contributed $35.3 million of his own dough as of Dec. 31, with almost all of it spent, along with the $54m in contributions he received over the course of the year. (He had just $2.4m left on hand.)

$35 million before the caucuses and primaries started.

That's more than I had guestimated. He's put a lot more in since then, advertising in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, Nevada, South Carolina, Florida... and he's still going at it, with California ads going up.

Much more analysis later, rest assured....
