Mitt Romney loaned his campaign $18 million in the final quarter last year while raising an additional $9 million from individual contributions, marking the first time he's loaned more money to his campaign than he has raised from outside sources. For the year, Romney raised $53.5 million from individuals and loaned his campaign roughly $35 million.

Romney has also spent a considerable amount of cash in the first five weeks of 2008, including a big new ad buy for Tsunami Tuesday, as reported yesterday.
