Hey, big spender...
If Mitt Romney really cared about America, he would have stayed in the race.

Another month of Mitt's wild-assed campaign spending — the frenzy reached $87 million — is just the economic stimulus the nation needs to pull out of its fiscal tailspin. Forget about tax rebates that citizens might bank or squander on buying down their debt — Romney was vomiting money into the nation's economic engine.

He single handedly kept television stations across America solvent with a $30 million injection of cash for a blitz of commercial spots. Here's a fun fact: To win those 133 GOP delegates, Mitt spent $654,000 each!

Compare that to Sen. McCain's less-than-patriotic spending — $39 million, a measely $57,000 a delegate.

Don't even bring up bargain-basement Huck and his lousy $45,000 per delegate spending.

Mitt, buddy, you've got $200 million in personal wealth left. Spread it around.

Before dropping out, candidate Fred Thompson mocked Romney's dropping of $2 million in South Carolina alone. “Governor, you can’t buy South Carolina,” Thompson said. “You can’t even rent South Carolina.”

Well, we checked on Craigslist. If Mitt had loosened the purse strings a bit and used Utah as a trade-in, he indeed could have purchased South Carolina.
