Chest to compete

Rommny, who has the campaign war chest to compete well beyond Super Tuesday, will be a formidable force against the Arizona senator in several delegate-rich states.

What does this mean?

I guess, who has a strong intention to compete well beyond Super Tuesday.

Thanks

No. Not intention. Money.

  • No.
  • Not intention.
  • Money.
  • the campaign war chest = the money stored away for use in the political campaign chest in the sense of a big box for storing valuables -- not chest as a part of the human body.
  • The sentence is saying that Romney has a lot of money -- enough money so that he can continue his campaign even after Super Tuesday.
