I didn't include the two Universities in my total for Obama. I only used the $1,013,091 from Goldman Sachs, plus the $852,167 from Microsoft, plus the $814,540 from Google. Those three corporate donations total the 2.68 million for Obama. I used all five of the top five for McCain because they were all corporations. Anyway you cut it the relative difference remains the same. Obumbler got more from corporations than did McCain, thus rendering your "right wing" argument null. October 6th 2011 Report Reply

As I said earlier, the numbers you listed represent only a small percentage of the total contributions to each candidate. For Obama, 0.36%. For McCain, 0.42%. Statistically, they mean nothing.

hiroad Respected Neighbor The Hilltop 5055 Posts	They are the top five donations to each candidate! They mean something to me and I would guess to Obama and McCain! If you delve deeper, I don't believe you will be happy with what you see. I did and the relative difference remains. Here is an article from the Sept/Oct 2010 issue of Mother Jones (just before the election). They evidently thought the top 10 corporate contributors numbers to each candidate were important, even though they were only 0.72% and 0.82% of the total contributions (your logic). It shows Obama with an approx. $7.7-7.8 million corporate and McCain with an approx. $2.4 million corporate!
