Lenny Curry talks about how Florida will play a major role in the primary. Republicans in Florida is represents what can be the outcome of an entire election. Florida is very diverse.

figures

Obama and Romney are in a fight to reach the top. As Obama being the only candidate running for the Democratic nomination and Romney being one of the top candidates in the running or the republican nomination. Romney is looking as if he is doing better then Obama. Romney has raised more campaign money. Romney has been impressing many of these firm and donators so that they would fund him instead of Mr. Obama. Since the spring Romney has raised over $1.5 million from employees and firms of certain companies. Obama on the other hand has only raised about $270,000, and this money has been coming mostly from the same supporters and firms that donated to him in 2008.
Aside from firm raising Obama has raised far more then Romney or any other candidate in the running. Obama has raised over $100 million and $65 million for the democratic national committee.
Romney has raised so much money from his belief that wall street should be able to write its own rules removing the wall street reform.
The president has put in protections to ensure that history wont repeat itself financially. Romney has to stop putting of the impressions that he defends an economy who has ruined so many financial issues. And has now raised this financial crisis in which seems very had to get out of.
To some people and Romney supporters, not many people are going to vote Obama back into the presidency because of the current state of the economy and his failure to create more jobs.
Obama just recruited about 100 bundlers for the last three months. Among those 100 bundlers here were a few, Hilary Clinton, John E. Frank, Amy Friedkin. Each of who raised a significant amount of money for the presidential campaign.
Romney is expected to receive a hard running with his opponent Rick Perry who raised over $17 million in the last three months. Most of which was raised by Texas. Romney raise about $14 million, most of which came from California. Ron Paul raised about $8.3 million. Herman Cain raised about $2.8 million, which broke down to about $200 from each fund raiser. Michele Bachmann raise about $4 million and spent $6 million which left to have about $1.3.
The other candidates are all far behind. Rick Santorum raised $704,000 and ended up having $229,114 left. Jon M Huntsman Jr. ha raised $327,000 and now is over twice in debt of that amount. Newt Grigrich raised $808,000, ending up with $353,417. Even though Obama is at the top right now with the fund raising, although unlikely he could fall behind if Romney or Perry really start to gain popularity. And just be reading these figures it doesn’t determine who will win the race but it does give us a little idea of who are the top runners at this point.

Jon M Huntsman Sr

Jon M Huntsman Sr. shares his ideas on how the wealthy can financially help and start contributing to the country. Huntsman Sr. feels like the wealthy people haven’t really given anything so he feels like the should give 80%. The occupy wall street protesters gather and camp out because of this very reason. These protestors feel as if the wealthy are greedy. Huntsman create the multinational Huntsman corporation which started in the 1970‘s. The Huntsman corporation a chemical base company which holds most of their business overseas. Mr. Huntsman empathizes with the protestors and feels like politics isn’t functioning as it should.
The democrats would like to push for the millionaires to start paying surtax. Mr. Huntsman believes that if the wealthy start to pay more tax that it could be the beginning to start fixing things and to start helping the economy get back on track.
There are many billionaires who are active but they aren’t active in out country. Billionaires such as Bill Gates and Mr. Buffet. The are active around the world fighting to help things like malaria and aids. Mr. Huntsman is focused with issues close to home. For example he is now working very hard on building the most distinguished cancer treatment an research center in Utah. These issues are important to him because he and his family were affected by cancer. Being that his father, mother, and stepmother all dies from cancer and he had a couple battles of skin cancer himself. He has spent most of his life on trying to help and fight these diseases. There are about 1200 billionaires in America and Mr. Huntsman is one of 19 of the wealthiest men to give away more then a billion dollars.
Huntsman has worked with for the presidential candidate Mr. Romney in the past and states that he has worked for three different versions of him. Romney was a liberal when was running to be a senate in Massachusetts, then he was a moderate when he ran for governor in 2002, and now he is a conservative running for president.
Huntsman does his work and donating for results not just for tax deductions as some of the wealthy do. Not only is he trying to help treat these diseases but he’s also wants to make help the way these people think and feel when they step into his research center. He will make decoration touch ups to make them feel as if the weren’t even in a center for cancer.
Interestingly the huntsman center links to Mormon religion because of Utah’s history. And Huntsman was leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “The database has already led scientists here to discover genes linked to inherited forms of melanoma breast and colon cancer, as well as ovarian cancer and some head and neck cancers that appear to have hereditary patterns.”
