Mitt Romney is a terrible candidate. His big media plan is to keep the press at bay and only answer questions under controlled conditions. Nobody likes him. He hasn't released any serious, in-depth policies, and he won't even tell his staunch supporters which government departments he would cut if he became president, even though he assures them he will be cutting some government departments. His tax returns are a millstone around his neck that he will apparently drag around all the way through election day. But it's important to note that Romney could still win in November, and if he does, it's because he's raising so much more money than the Obama campaign:

For the second straight month, President Obama struggled to match Mitt Romney’s prodigious fundraising efforts, deepening Democratic concerns that they will be severely outspent in the final stretch of the election.

According to the Obama campaign, the president’s re-election team, combined with the DNC, raised over $75 million in July from 761,000 people, including 201,000 new donors who had not given money in either the 2008 or 2012 cycle. The numbers are impressive, but Romney and the RNC raised an eye-popping $101.3 million and have $185 million cash on hand.

Seriously, though: Give if you can.
