The Center for Public Integrity reports:

As Republican Mitt Romney works to unify the party faithful behind him, the number of lobbyists raising money to help him secure the White House has soared.

More than five-dozen lobbyist-bundlers have raised at least $14 million for Romney’s election efforts, according to reports submitted Monday. That includes 42 who raised nearly $9 million during the third quarter of 2012.

This isn’t much of a surprise. As both Roll Call and Politico reported, lobbyists are excited about the idea of a Romney administration.
