    Default Campaign Contributions - who do the politicians really owe their soul to ?

    this one will probably surprise you ! Note there's only two oil companies on the list of "corporate" contributors, and they're #85 and #100 in donation size

    trying to make sense of it all, it would appear that the Democrats have accepted big money from the following groups
    - broadcast/media/entertainment ($9 mil from Haim Saban alone)
    - government employee organizations
    - union employee organizations
    - legal firms/trial lawyers
    - educational employee organizations

    While the republicans have accepted money from the following groups ...
    - drug companies
    - energy companies
    - financial companies

    Folks,
    Be aware these are only the top contributors
    $500K from 10 folks each buys just as much as $5 mil from one.
