This story (which has been posted a few times today) is full of "might be", "could be", "may be". Unlike the following story, which nobody in the media is writing or talking about. I wonder why?

Mitt and Rick’s Secret Donor Deal
Sep 20, 2011 11:26 PM EDT

Before they were rivals for the 2012 GOP nomination, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry got entangled in a $1 million donation controversy that a judge ruled broke the law. Steve McVicker reports.

It might be hard to imagine after last week’s GOP presidential slugfest, but there was a time not too long ago when a group headed by Mitt Romney quietly—and a judge says illegally—helped Rick Perry’s political career in Texas and set the stage for his new nemesis to rise on the national stage.

Spokesmen for Romney and Rick Perry did not return repeated requests seeking comment.

Rick Perry’s campaign has denied in the past that it did anything wrong but settled its role in the lawsuit by making a $427,000 payment in 2010, court records show.

Damn I’m glad you’ve posted this. If there’s a nefarious activity on the campaign trail Perry’s got to be involved. The Marlboro man’s a menace.

Recall Perry as governor of Texas, the people of Texas deserve a leader. And also, to hell with Mitt.
