Romney PAC Raises $1.7 Million

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has rasied $1.7 million dollars between June and September through political operations that include a political action committee at a federal and state level, reports Politico Thursday. Romney is expected to run for the presidency in 2012, following his loss to John McCain for the Republican nomination in 2008.   

The committees all share the same title of Free and Strong America and have been created in Iowa, Alabama, Michigan, South Carolina and New Hampshire.  Each of these states is seen as a strategic move because of their importance in the presidential race.
