Blunt named co-chairman of Romney finance committee


Missouri Governor Matt Blunt has been named one of 61 co-chairmen of the finance committee for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's presidential campaign:

Also on the roster are Gov. Matt Blunt, R-Mo.; Al Cardenas, former head of the Florida GOP, as well as some of the elite from the Mormon business community, including hoteliers William and Richard Marriott, developer Kem Gardner and cancer research advocate Jon Huntsman, the father of Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., who is supporting Romney rival Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

All told, Romney has led the Republican field with $44.4 million in receipts, as of June 30, although the multimillionaire has also loaned his campaign $8.9 million.

One loser holding hands with another loser. Romney is at the bottom of the pack with 11% support from his party.

He's got national ambitions. He's forming connections at the very least and no doubt hoping to be more than that.
