Last night on ABC's Nightline, Mitt Romney was shown saying that his campaign has raised more money than anyone else running. He must be including the millions of dollars he has personally given to the campaign.

Romney telling the truth ...
I'm just waiting for Willard to say he invented the internet.
Don't forget, and I can't stress this enough
Mitt Romney does not DONATE to his campaign. He LOANS to his campaign. All those individual donors are just paying back Mitt's personal loan.
Too bad Old Media doesn't report this fact, I bet his donors would dry up until the Loans are forgiven and converted to donations.
Here is why it matters...
When you are figuring Mitt's net worth you include outstanding loans that are to be repaid (like the 17 million he has loaned to the Mitt Romney for President committee, or whatever it's called). If there were donated it would actually be removed from his net worth.
Not the person I want having ANY influence on the economy.

He is
because he's telling about whole year, not only the 4rd quarter.
that's how I took the comment too
This DP page is all I know of the matter, so bear that in mind, but that's how the wording struck me.

Your title is off - it isn't Was Mitt telling the truth? It ...
It should be, Can Mitt Romney tell the truth?
Based on everything I've seen, Mitt Romney has never been introduced to the truth and therefore has a hard time recognizing the truth on any subject.
So, it isn't Was Mitt telling the truth? It is Can Mitt tell the truth?
There's no
way of telling yet until the non-transparent campaigns file with the FEC and it is made public. He could also be include contributions designated for the General election, because they can collect those funds already, or pledges that haven't been paid to the campaign only promised. He included pledges in some claim earlier in the year about a huge fundraising day. Either way his campaign is in debt to his personal coffers so much that once that is subtracted from his cash on hand he's likely well below Dr. Paul.
About Mitt's Claims
He also donated to himself on his supposed $6 million day. There's no way Mitt Romney raised $20 million this past quarter if you subtract contributions from all donors named Romney.
Thanks for that. I figured
Thanks for that. I figured that Rmoney was probably stretching it out a bit.
