When it comes to the “money primary,” Yale employees favor Democratic presidential candidates over their Republican rivals — by a margin of 45 to one.
Federal Election Commission filings from the first two quarters of the year show that University faculty and staff have given $44,500 to Democratic presidential candidates — most often to Sen. Barack Obama — and just $1,000 to Republicans.
Obama has received $15,700 in contributions from Yale affiliates, while Sen. Hillary Clinton LAW ’73 has received $9,950 in donations so far. Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut raised $9,300, while Republicans Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee attracted only one $500 donation each.
The total contributions to each candidate were calculated by reviewing records of all 2008 donations made by individuals who list Yale as their employer, as they are usually required to do by federal law. The findings are not scientific, as not all contributors list the specific names of their employers, and some Yale faculty hold primary occupations outside of the University.
Although she is an alumna of the school, Clinton has received no contributions from Yale Law School faculty, who have made donations to Bill Richardson and Obama. At Harvard, where he got his law degree, Obama has raised more than $100,000.
In the 2008 cycle, Yale affiliates have so far given about $120,000 to Democratic candidates and political action committees, and only $1,000 to Republicans.

GASP.... Who Knew!..
In other news, water is found to be wet.
Within a couple of days, expect an internal investigation of all Yale employees to find out who the scumbag(s) was/were who donated to Republican PACs.
In other shocking news - the sun rose in the east this morning...
The most dangerous occupation in America today - no, not Crab or Lobster fishing...try being a conservative in a liberal arts department at a college campus (I know, I am one...literally...one)
Great find.
No surprises here.
All of these Ward Churchill’s are Hatriotics, who hate America, Christians and Republicans.
Where is the Fairness Doctrine in all of this?
terrorist can recruit at yale, but our military can not.
My thought is: "What a bunch of tight wads!"
How many people are there on the faculty and staff? It has to be several hundred. That is all they gave?
I guess it’s a case of those who know her best.

It figures, given that they create them by the thousands every year...
