You make lots of claims, but provide no sources or proof. While I do not doubt the veracity of your claims, there are many who will. As such, it is advisable to link to your sources that we too may verify your statements.

Here is some facts.
From Politico!
Paul, Romney backers stacking straw poll deck
The Southern Republican Leadership Conference Straw Poll doesn’t carry a whole lot of weight, since it’s skewed — like most of these things — by the makeup of the crowd, the intensity of Ron Paul’s supporters and the ease of gaming the vote.

That doesn’t mean, however, that the various camps aren’t trying to game it. One of the organizers told me that two groups, Paul’s Campaign for Liberty and Evangelicals for Mitt (which denies ties to Romney) have purchased blocks of tickets to the event, typically given to supporters.

Here is some facts on Romney’s book sales
Mitt Romney’s book has debuted at #1 atop the NY Times best-seller list among non-fiction hardcover books. However, the NY Times also provides some additional information that may explain how Romney’s book hit the #1 spot.

Whenever the NY Times places a “dagger” symbol next to a book, it signifies that “some bookstores report[ed] receiving bulk orders” for the book.

The NY Times placed not just one, but two, daggers next to Romney’s book. You can draw your own conclusion as to who it was that purchased Governor Romney’s book in bulk.

By contrast, the NY Times failed to place the “dagger” symbol next to Governor Palin’s book in any of the weeks she held the top position on the NY Times best-seller list among non-fiction hardcover books. Despite the left’s unsubstantiated theories, bookstores did not report to the NY Times that they received bulk orders for Going Rogue. See week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5, and week 6. As you can see, in none of these weeks is there a dagger symbol next to her book.

Once again, I’m just reporting what I found from the NY Times. Don’t shoot the messenger.

And CBS’s Brian Montopoli just got a bit of insight into how this works:

I spoke to a young female delegate who said she planned to vote for Romney in the poll. I asked her how she had ended up at the conference.

She said Evangelicals for Mitt had contacted her and offered to pay for her to have a limited-access ticket — as long as she agreed to vote for Romney in the straw poll.

Asked how Evangelicals for Mitt got her name, she said she didn’t know. But she said that she was on the e-mail list for Romney and speculated that the Romney team had given out their e-mail list.

I’ve e-mailed a Romney spokesman to ask if they shared the list.

UPDATE: Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom says Romney’s PAC hasn’t shared its list, and that he’s not aware of any other list.

And a Paul supporter gets hold of the full e-mail from Evangelicals for Mitt’s Nancy French, which requires ticket recipients to promise to vote for Romney:

Evangelicals for Mitt is trying to get people there who would vote for Gov. Romney in a straw poll. It is customary for potential Presidential candidates to make an effort to get friendly people at the conference to help their showing in the straw polls, and that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Romney bought his book in bulk and is now giving them away for straw poll votes.
mbecker, Romney is trying to buy the Republican party. I hope the Republicans refuse his offer again.
