Mr. Romney and a group of his supporters also contributed a total of about $10,000 to a nonprofit group affiliated with National Review. Over the past two years, he contributed $35,000 to the Federalist Society, an influential network of conservative lawyers. And in December 2005, he contributed $25,000 to the Heritage Foundation, a leading conservative research organization that has helped support his Massachusetts state health care plan to other conservatives. His charitable foundation has not yet released its 2006 tax filings, which may show what other donations it may have made last year.

His campaign, for instance, paid for vans and hotel rooms for young supporters to attend the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in the hope of doing well in the event’s straw poll — a vote that had never before drawn much attention. And more recently it was revealed that in the months before he announced his candidacy, he made large donations to several conservative groups in a position to influence his reputation on the right.

Now Reaganesque, I know you will have a fit about the sources. But if what is reported in these links is not the truth, has the Romney campaign denied the donations?

I will take back my suggestions that Romney is attempting to buy endorsements, (which by the way isn’t illegal is it?) if you can prove that he never gave to these groups and organizations.
