Enter Democratic into the recipient field. Choose an individual state of residence of the donor (preferably not Ohio, in order to see who is donating to Ohio from other states) such as Maryland, click on Order the results by: Amount donated, then click on the Search button.
The results will show a mixture of recipients, for example the Democratic Congressional Campaign Cmte, but the high-dollar donations to the Democratic Party of Ohio are easy to spot in the list. The $5000 donation by Mary McCarthy shows up on the third page of results.
It isn't always apparent at first glance who some of these contributors may be connected to - for example, a $10,000 donation to the Democratic Party of Ohio from a Bethesda homemaker might raise some eyebrows (the same person also donated $10,000 to the Democratic Executive Cmte of Florida and another $10,000 to the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania and another $2500 to the Democratic Party of Virginia within the same week in August of 2004). It leaves you wondering whether (and how)that 'homemaker' is related to a 'national legal aid defense attorney' with the same last name and same zip code or another 'homemaker' with the same last name and zip code and with a similar first name who, between the two of them, contributed $125,000 to the DNC Services Corp and additional big bucks to a Who's Who of leftist pols and causes. But I digress...
A quick check of Virginia shows another self- or unemployed homemaker with a $10,000 donation to the Democratic Party of Ohio in October of 2004. So, I guess that the Democratic Party of Ohio (not the Kerry campaign, because collusion would not be allowed, would it?) must have made a very effective sales pitch to those DC-area homemakers to have raked in all of that cash...
Thanks! I did some searching, but didn't hit on the right combo like you did!! Some interesting finds there!
