Romney's campaign had already cost $1,000,000 by the estimate of National Campaign Manager Leonard Hall, and would have required $2,000,000 more by the August convention; yet contributions were becoming scarce.

In the process, the birders had to weather a sickening swell, the pungent aroma of the guano-splattered Farallons and the even more pungent smell of overripe suet, thrown overboard for bait. For their fortitude they were rewarded with such rarities as Brandt's cormorants, tufted puffins, pink-footed shearwaters and a couple of black-footed albatrosses...
