Romney campaign declines to name bundlers

A top Mitt Romney adviser signaled Monday the campaign would continue to keep the names of its bundlers private, even as he accused President Obama of giving special favors to those who have raised campaign cash.

Unlike the Obama campaign, Romney has not revealed the names of his top political fundraisers, called “bundlers” because they bundle together contributions in small increments from family, friends and business associates.

The disclosure of these bundlers is voluntary, but good-government groups such as the Center for Responsive Politics have called on Romney to reveal the names since those individuals tend to wield influence once their candidate is elected. The groups renewed calls Monday for Romney to release the list.

Obama senior strategist David Axelrod shot back at the Romney campaign via Twitter, writing, “Only Mitt could cry cronyism while refusing 2 disclose his $$$ bundlers—as every candidate, R and D, has done for decades? #Mittsecrets”
