Mitt Romney's heading back to New Hampshire.
The likely 2012 candidate, who owns a home in the Granite State, will raise money for the New Hampshire Republican Party Aug. 12. (View Invite here.)
The fundraiser is $250 a head and at a private home. Party spokesman Ryan Williams told First Read the New Hampshire GOP has sent out a "couple hundred" invitations, and that, for New Hampshire, $250 is considered high-priced.
A week earlier, Aug. 5th, Romney will also raise money for the New Hampshire Republican House Victory PAC in Manchester. The PAC helps elect Republican state House candidates.
The former Massachusetts governor, no surprise, leads the pack of 2012 hopefuls who have donated to the state party and state GOP candidates. Romney has donated already $30,000 to the state party, Williams said. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is next biggest contributor of the group with $5,000. Pawlenty was in New Hampshire July 10th for a state party fundraiser.
Romney has also given $7,500 to other local and state special election candidates in New Hampshire, and $1,000 to Chris Sununu, who is running for the state party's executive council. Chris Sununu is the son of state party chairman John Sununu, a former governor.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) is headed to the Granite State Monday to raise money for the state Senate PAC, as well as Chris Sununu.

Looks like Romney remembers that NH follows Iowa in the Primaries. Better splash a little money there and maybe grow a few votes.
Romney has never had to splash money at me to gain my vote. He is a true American and a businessman that knows how to lead. Mr. Romney has had my vote for many years. I loved what he did when he lead Massachusetts. Now Mass is back to the same Democrapic stuff since going back into Liberal foolishness leading the blind.
Mitt Romney has my support here in NH and I gladly welcome his leadership when he WINS the White House in 2012.
Go Romney!!!!!!
Yeah Mormon Moron Romney is holding a fete for his elitist celebrity divas so he can fool the New Hampshire crowd into voting for him since he knows he can't win Iowa. Let's not forget how Mormon Moron Romney used lots of federal government pork spending to prop up his Olympics in Salt Lake City and that he made sure that all that pork spending benefitted him and his rich and greedy pals who profitted from all that infrastructure work that made their land deals profitable. If he gets in the White House watch how he makes sure his rich and greedy pals benefit from more federal pork spending and tax cut welfare they don't need or deserve.
Mormon Mitt Romney was the best canidate in 2008 and will be back in 2012. The ultra liberal, Muslim Communist theat the sheep, who where spoon fed with the hope of change help create the largest deficit this country has ever seen.
The taxes and entitlements that Obamass has created is destroying the middle class and is leading to total dependance of the lower class. When you tax the rich and businesses to extremes you will end up with no businesses and no spending by those who have earned their money. Talk about spending and pork, where is the 4 trillions dollars coming from that Obamass has already spent in his first 18 months in office coming from??? From the hard working people of the US. Those that have their hands out get it for doing nothing but having theirs heads filled with change that come from others pockets.
All these Republican "BUMS " need to go ..We paid into this in the event we lost our jobs and then these idiots keep it from us ..They didn't want it unless it was paid for !!!! IT WAS YOU IDIOTS you looked the other way as your other congress and senate people raided the accounts !!! and looked the other way when John McCain voted to DE REGULATE the banks and looked the way when the OIL COMPANY'S found we had to many safety rules... it would cost to much for them to adhere to !!!!
The Republicans didn't keep anything from you, they were trying to get the funds from money that have already been authorized for economic stimulus.
The DEMS and the rest of Obamass's clowns are trying to create more government dependence. How about slick Willy who let people have homes that couldn't afford them only to backrupt the country. The same people who then wwent and claimed hardship because they couldn't pay for their $500,000 home while only making $30,000 per year? Clinton who signed NAFTA and allowed the flood gates to open and let jobs go overseas where the taxes are lower and people are willing to work.
Romney ... he was for gay marriage before he was against it ...i guess he was protecting his own family member ... also for health care before he was against it ..he gave Mass a health care plan everyone can afford ...this man would have won the presidency had he not opted for the votes of the religious cults ... that screwed him . As soon as i saw him try to get the religious votes ...i gave my vote to Obama !!
Romney is the most qualified of any Politician on either side of the aisle to fix this country and get us going on the right path once again.
Hope you run Mitt.
It's time to take back our country. "Dump the Dems" (Dirty Harry etc in '10, Barry & his Czars in '12), and elect Mitt to help us get out of this socialist mess.
Remember the day...January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress. At the time: The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77. The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%. The Unemployment rate was 4.6%. George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Remember the day...January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!!!
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac! (BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was Financially risky for the US economy):
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac???? OBAMA. And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie??? The HYPOCRITE in Chief Obama
So when a LIB tries to blame Bush...REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!
