Top-Giving PACs Favor GOP Candidates 10-1

WASHINGTON -- The top-giving corporate political action committees didn't hedge their bets in the fall elections despite the narrow division between the GOP and Democrats in Congress. They favored Republican candidates 10-to-1.

Of 268 corporate PACs that donated $100,000 or more to presidential and congressional candidates from January 2003 through the middle of last month, 245 gave the majority of their contributions to GOP hopefuls, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Political Money Line campaign finance tracking service.

3. Some say there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats.

Obviously, there is a difference and corporations KNOW it.
