Mitt Romney is feeling confident. His campaign is offering supporters “preferred status at the first Presidential Inaugural retreat” in exchange for a $50,000 donation. In an email obtained by BuzzFeed, the campaign lays out perks associated with various levels of donation, including $10,000 for a photo with Romney and $50,000 for access to his presidential inauguration.
