The Romney campaign is already downplaying their fundraising numbers this quarter, suggesting that Rick Perry will probably raise more money.
“We are going to raise considerably less than what we did in our first reporting period, but we will still meet our finance goals for this quarter,’’ Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul told the Associated Press. “Rick Perry is a brand new candidate raising primary and general election dollars, and as the governor of a large state and former [Republican Governors Association] chair we suspect he will lead the Republican field in fund-raising for this quarter.’’
