It was a win-win situation for Romney: if it worked, he might have won the election. If it didn't, those donor dollars (remember he didn't spend his own money on the campaign) went to Bain subsidiaries, in which Romney still has financial interests (why do you think he wouldn't release his tax returns ). It's the same reason his campaign kept running ads in states he was going to win anyway, or had no chance of winning: ClearChannel, which controls a lot of media, is a Bain subsidiary.
