Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been using his Leadership PAC, an outside political fundraising organization, to support other politicians with cash. And he’s been counting on their support too, Mother Jones reports:

As the 2012 GOP contenders head into primary-season crunch time, 51 sitting members of Congress so far have already endorsed on-and-off front-runner Mitt Romney. And nearly 90 percent of those endorsements came from lawmakers who have received campaign cash from Romney.
