Mitt Romney disclosed today that he raised $18.25 million in his initial fundraising report, but his goal for the first half of 2011 was $50 million, according to an email sent by a Romney consultant to a potential state finance aide at the end of last year.
on Stirling, a Utah-based Romney finance consultant, sent a message in late-December to another western GOP strategist outlining compensation plans and fundraising targets.
“National 6-month goal: $50 million,” he wrote in the message, obtained by POLITICO.
That’s the same figure that other Romney fundraisers bandied about for their first-quarter target as late as March. When both POLITICO and the Wall Street Journal got wind that his backers were discussing such an ambitious goal, expectations-minded Romney aides moved aggressively to claim that there was no such out-of-the-gates target.
