The democraps will have to back off now.

Looks like Enron is solid republican. sarcasm.

[dead]

Considering that the totality of the "Whitewater" charge of the liberal press is that Enron gave money to Bush and other Republicans, this "scandal" is headed the way of an Ellen Degeneres series - they'll try and try to keep it alive, and weep for their loss when it dies a lonely unlamented death.

Albert R. Wynn (D-Md) $125

Dammit, I want this guy investigated.

[Eva]

Please make sure that Bill O'Reilly gets a copy of this. He is hot on the Enron issue because he owned stock in it.

[Tall_Texan]

Most of these folks received round-numbered contributions and yet Gary Condit received $1,041. Wonder why?

[GSWarrior]

Is there really a senator from Idaho named Crapo?

[Gritty]

It looks like Republicans are the majority recipients, but ENRON made sure to hedge it's contributions everywhere. Note the biggest $ contributions went to politicians from Texas, so that could have some bearing on the lopsidedness of the figures as most of them are Republicans. IMHO, if the majority of officeholders were Democrats, the figures would likely have been reversed.

Here are some nice graphs from the same source:

Thank you for listing this. I wrote on another post that I had read somewhere recently that Enron contributed funds to Democrats also. I rest my case!

[First_Salute]

"Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) $38,000"

Sheila The Socialist ... is the Democrat-Enron high-roller in the House of Representatives. Let's see her give it up.

[Starboard]

Great post! Lots of good stats that will never appear on the evening "news".

[Salvation]

James M. Jeffords (I-Vt) $2,500

LOL!

[Salvation]

Needs to be indexed

[concerned about politics]

Just about the same to both parties.
Does anyone think maybe this Enron thing is making news against Bush because of the Clinton/Lewinski report out today? I reciently heard about this report comming out. I wonder what it says. I wonder if the press will talk about that, too.
It wouldn't hurt to remind the voters of Monicagate right now.

Do you know if Gov. Gray-out Davis (D-CA) received campaign contributions from Enron?
