Romney Receiving Big Bucks From Ohioans; Millions Spent For 'Super Tuesday'

This is interesting. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were the nation's top presidential fund-raisers last year, each collecting more than $100 million, but they lagged behind republican Mitt Romney in securing campaign dollars from Ohio.

Romney received 1.4 million from Ohio donors in 2007. The Plain Dealer has the story.

In the meantime, CNN has a report on the millions of dollars being "burned" in TV advertising to convince voters to pull the switch, check a box, or push a touchscreen for their favorite candidate on February 5's "Super Tuesday" primaries around the U.S.

Sigh . . . just imagine if that kind of funding were available to teach young people marksmanship, responsibility and leadership.
