Top three individual donors to independent 527 political groups from Ohio:
Peter B. Lewis, Cleveland: $23.1 million to pro-Kerry groups. Carl Lindner, Cincinnati: $1.9 million to pro-Bush groups. Richard Rosenthal, Cincinnati: $1 million to pro-Kerry groups.
Lindner owns the Reds, Provident Bank, Great American Insurance (who Great American Ballpark is named after), United Dairy Farmers and a host of other Cincinnati based businesses.
There was a USA Today article mentioning Lindner and Alex Spanos of the Chargers as huge Republican supporters. The Google.com link (enter Carl Lindner by name) shows the USA Today article but like the Enquirer, it is being blocked on the FreeRepublic.com site. Both are interesting reads.
I should add a step:
It is Google.com
then click on NEWS
then enter Carl Lindner by name to get the article.
Peter B. Lewis is spending seven times as much as the other two put together.
He's Soros, Jr.
