Our own Senator Blunt, tight with Mitt Romney--and the money, Part II

Apparently, in Washington, DC, in our Federal Government, when you want big money raised, one of the people you have to get hold of, at least on the Right Wing, Republican side, is our own Missouri Senator, Roy Blunt. Because that's what Republican presidential candidate Mitt "Mittens" Romney has done and is doing, as reported in yet another story out of that city, this time by Politico: Mitt Romney money machine calls in cavalry

"GOP operatives thought it would cost Romney about $50 million to secure the nomination, but coming off a bruising few months and with a slog still ahead, some say it could cost closer to $75 million...Now, with the nominating contest stretching into the spring, Romney’s point man on Capitol Hill, Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt, sent an email Monday to congressional chiefs of staff to talk up the cause. 'We need your support to ensure it is a big success,' Blunt wrote of the fundraiser. 'Take this opportunity to reach out to your best supporters, and ask them to commit to this special event. In this case, with a fundraiser substantially driven by members, the governor has an opportunity to strengthen his relationships now,' Blunt said. 'It’s important for the governor to have time with members and for members to be financially committed to the campaign as well as politically.'” So you can bet this is very good for our Senator Blunt. If former Massachussetts Governor Romney is elected President (don't be on it), he'll be sitting pretty with the sitting Prez. Even if that doesn't happen, the traditionalists in the party will not soon forget the work--and money--Senator Blunt can squeeze out of the corporations and wealthy people in the country, nosiree, Bob. Either way, Senator Blunt wins. At the same time, either way, the American public loses, what with all that money that's exchanging hands and the buying of votes and support. It isn't pretty.
