Romney's Roots Are Showing

Turns out that the spontaneous grass-roots showing that fueled MA Gov. Mitt Romney's Silver medal at the SRLC wasn't as spontaneous as Team Romney claimed.

AP's Glen Johnson, with an assist from the on-the-scene Ron Fournier, has a story up about who, uhh, seeded those roots.

Twas none other than an exec at MA LG Kerry Healey's husband's investment firm in Beverly, MA, on the North Shore of MA; a long way from the banks of the mighty Mississip.

David French, who organized the trip, told the Hotline on Saturday night that he had had no contact with anyone in Romney's orbit and insisted that the delegates themselves had paid the $225 registration fee.
