WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney's campaign has directed $134.2 million to political firms with business ties to his senior staff, spotlighting the tightknit nature of his second presidential bid and the staggering sums being spent in this election.

President Obama's reelection campaign and a joint fundraising committee have paid about $5.8 million in consulting fees to companies with business ties to senior strategists, according to the finance reports.

Look on the bright side, Mittens is creating good paying jobs for his buddies.

Always use contacts.

Faster service and you can count on the quality.

Problem with that?

How much actual profit is there? Media costs chunks of money. Same with polling and planning. Someone gets the commission in any case.

Obama just uses taxpayers to cover a chunk of his costs

meh. I don't see the big deal... it's not as if this is public money.
