Click on the box titled "New-2008 Presidential Donor A-List Chart"


TOPICS: Extended News; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: campaignfinance; contributions; donors; elctionpresident; mccain; mccainpalin; obama
You can filter the donors according to candidates. It's revealing to see the quality of donors giving to McCain versus Obama's donors' listings made up mostly of the Hollywood crowd and media personalities.

I'll let FReepers post and/or comment on those they feel significant.

Interesting. I see Susan St. James is about the only Hollywood type that gave to McCain and Hillary both. Could it be there is an independent thinker in their midst?

Clint Eastwood, Gary Sinise, Jack Nicklaus, Richard Petty...talk about a golf foursome!

I’ll pick up the tab.

All the Lib actors just fall in line, don’t they? I added a few more to my “don’t watch, don’t buy” list.

Another one that surprises me...Don King! I guess electing a black president outweighs anything else...sad. He best just get rid of the flag waving skit when he’s on FNC

Don King gave 2300 to Obama and I think 50K to the RNC. If I were to guess he gave to Obama to keep his street cred with his boxers.

You might want to take a look through all the tabs, there is interesting information everywhere on this site. Check out the names on the right side of one of the pages- there is a box titled “Newsmakers.” Or look up a contributor by name. I found Norman Hsu’s list...lots of contributions to Hillary going way back to 2004.

Interesting. I looked at both lists of the Hall of Fame donors, with the following criteria:

Moneymakers, or
Moneytakers.

Moneymakers were the people who created wealth by hiring, producing, creating, or producing.

Moneytakers were the people who simply worked for a salary, and by nature of the job, could care less whether the company who paid them survived or not.

Most of the McCain donors were moneymakers. Most of the Obama donors were moneytakers.
