$165 million

According to the Wall Street Journal, Romney will have an additional 165 million dollars to spend starting this coming Thursday. This is just an insane incredible amount that is apparently going to be used almost exclusively on TV ads.  Considering its close to a tie ball game headed into the conventions, this is going to give Romney a huge advantage headed into the homestretch. Looks like all his extra fundraising is going to pay off.

Romney may be able to literally buy the election with his huge monetary advantage over the incumbent.

No one seemed to say Obama bought his election in 2008, even though he had a huge money advantage.
