"Charitable contributions. Cash payments to an organization, charitable or otherwise, may be deductible as business expenses if the payments are not charitable contributions or gifts... Example. You made a $100,000 donation to a committee organized by the local Chamber of Commerce to bring a convention to your city, intended to increase business activity, including yours. Your payment is not a charitable contribution. However, you may deduct it as a business expense..." (http://www.irs.gov/publications/p535/ch11.html#d0e8853)
Но все равно, предвыборный съезд явно не intended to increase business activity, у него другие цели. Хотя, конечно, тут уже зависит от того, как посмотреть. Но не думаю, что IRS одобрит такой подход. :)
