Romney rakes in over $1 million at Israel fundraiser


Holly Bailey reports on the first time a presidential candidate has raised money in the Holy Land.

Mitt Romney raised more than $1 million at a campaign fundraiser here on his way out of Israel.

At least 40 donors paid between $25,000 and $50,000 apiece to attend a breakfast with Romney at a hotel.... Romney's finance event marked the first time a presidential candidate has raised cash in Israel. The campaign accepted contributions only from American citizens—since candidates and parties are blocked from raising cash from foreign sources.
