In politics, as in the rest...

...of the world, it never hurts to follow the money. An article in Politico today details the amount of money raised recently by some 2012 Republican presidential hopefuls.

Between July 1 and the beginning of this year, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, [Mitt] Romney’s PAC (Free and Strong America) brought in more than $1.6 million, [Sarah] Palin’s (Sarah PAC) raised nearly $1.4 million, [Mike] Huckabee’s (Huck PAC) raised $519,000 and [Tim] Pawlenty’s (Freedom First) raked in nearly $1.3 million, though it’s only been up and running for three months.

But according to a report filed with the Internal Revenue Service, [Newt] Gingrich’s group, American Solutions for Winning the Future, lapped them all, raising $6.4 million in the second half of the year.

That's why I'm keeping a close eye on Gingrich in 2012.
