BOSTON -- A smattering of Bush's top donors as well as Missouri's governor and the former chairman of the Florida Republican Party round out Mitt Romney's list of national finance committee chairs and co-chairs.

John Rakolta Jr. and Tom Tellefsen join eBay chief executive Meg Whitman among the 13 chairmen, while American Financial Group Chairman Carl Lindner Jr. and Ted Welch of Ted Welch investment - both major donors to President Bush, are among the 61 co-chairmen.

Also on the roster are Gov. Matt Blunt, R-Mo.; Al Cardenas, former head of the Florida GOP, as well as some of the elite from the Mormon business community, including hoteliers William and Richard Marriott, developer Kem Gardner and cancer research advocate Jon Huntsman, the father of Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., who is supporting Romney rival Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

All told, Romney has led the Republican field with $44.4 million in receipts, as of June 30, although the multimillionaire has also loaned his campaign $8.9 million.
