Donations to Romney still flowing in after health care ruling

Washington Times:
Conservatives upset by the Supreme Court's decision to uphold most of the 2010 health care law are furiously cutting checks to Mitt Romney's campaign.
Less than 12 hours after the high court's ruling, the GOP nominee's spokeswoman Andrea Saul tweeted that the campaign had received more than $3 million in donations in the wake of the decision.
"Thank you to everyone who donated at http://www.mittromney.com today! Raised $3.2 million online & counting! #FullRepeal," she posted on her Twitter account shortly after 9 p.m., her sixth tweet of the day documenting the Romney team's mounting haul.
Just a few hours after the decision was announced, RedState's Erick Erickson tweeted that he had just donated to Mr. Romney's campaign.
"Swore I wouldn't do it, but I just gave Mitt Romney a donation. Thanks John Roberts. Sigh," he tweeted.

Conservatives need to make this court ruling the worst thing that has ever happened to Democrats and Obama.  An energized opposition can create a land slide against liberalism.

This report puts the take at $4.2 million now.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
