Prominent Republican and likely presidential contender Mitt Romney has more problems on his hands. There’s lot of evidence out there that Romney held a lot of very moderate, even liberal, positions in his past — and that body of evidence just got larger.
Talking Points Memo reveals that Romney donated a total of $1,500 to three Democrats in 1992 — the same year Romney voted for Paul Tsongas in the Democratic primary.
