Well, the problem is, there's only 1 Democrat in the Top 40. That's the whole point.

There are 535 Congressmen and Senators and 1 President. What about the other 496?

Dude, there are only 100 Senators - 49 of them Republican. If 39 of the top 40 are Republicans - which means there are only 60 other Senators in all - that's all that needs to be said.

And, overall, McCain's campaign has gotten three times more money from the industry than Obama's has -- $1.3 million compared to about $394,000."

The industry is obviously hedging their bets...80% to 20%. Even more telling is the overall percentage that these contributions make up. Obama is raking in the cash through his website in what amounts to modern grass roots support. Be honest...which candidate really needs support from big oil?

Do you have a handy chart like that of any Dem oil contributions?

Anything with AlGore and Occidental?

Al Gore, Sr. was an exec at Occidental after his political career was over. Al Gore, Jr. is currently out of office and serving more as an itinerant educator at college campuses across the country.
