CNYT:  他也会是筹款的吸金利器，不仅对罗姆尼如此，很可能对奥巴马来说也一样。 google:  "He also is a fund-raising tool for suction gold not only Romney so is likely to Obama, too." a better literal  translation from Chinese would be:"He also is a fund-raising tool, a gold attractor,  not only for Romney but likely for Obama, too."

Xi means absorb or attract (suck in) and jin means gold or money. Google translate for Chinese should never be relied upon for anything remotely important. But it's good to get the gist of things.  Monkey Boy: The current version of this article (by Nate Silver on 15 August) is here:
