A really poor rate of return

Deb Jordhal over at the Above the Belt blog has a post trying to claim that Governor Doyle is handing out contracts to firms that donate money to him. Jordhal presents some rather odd 'facts' as proof that companies are buying contracts. Most notably, this one:
Foley & Lardner: Former DOA Secretary and Doyle Campaign Chair Marc Marrotta's firm received a $50,000 no bid contract with the Department of Commerce on November 4, 2004. Foley & Lardner employees have made a total of $166,540 to Doyle's campaign, $66,000 from the firm's conduit account.
If the lobbying team over at Foley and Lardner is "buying" a $50,000 state contract for $166,540 they should all be fired.

I don't think they are that dumb and I don't think they are buying state contracts with their donations. Is it possible that a lot of folks over there happen to support Doyle's policies?
