It appears that he’s paying for endorsements. Thomas Edsall, Ethan Hova report that Romney is making massive payments to various Republicans as “GOTV Consulting”.

The payments start at $500 a month, the base rate for student leaders, many of whom are chairs in the “Iowa Students for Romney” campaign organization. At a higher level, Joe Earle, former director of the Iowa Christian Alliance (the successor to the Iowa Christian Coalition) gets $4,000 a month, and Gary Marx, a top-level member on the Romney for President National Faith And Values Steering Committee, gets $8,000 a month.

Well, it appears that he gets votes the old fashioned way, he buys them.

It’s surprising that Giuliani is not doing the same, he’s got an even larger war chest.
