Who Are the Biggest Campaign Donors?

"Big money in politics isn't two libertarian billionaires in Kansas," writes Kevin Williamson @ NRO.

Of the 20 largest current overall political donors, the majority favor Democrats, and favor them strongly: 62 percent of the biggest donors’s money goes to Democrats. They are, in descending order: 

1. a couple of hedge-fund guys who give 100 percent of their donations (more than $11 million) to Democrats, 
2. people associated with the city government of New York (84 percent to Democrats), 
3. the Democratic Governors Association, 
4. the National Education Association (89 percent to Democrats), 
5. the Carpenters and Joiners Union (79 percent to Democrats), 
6. the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal employees (100 percent to Democrats), 
7. the AFL-CIO (81 percent to Democrats), 
8. (our first GOP-leaning group comes in at No. 8) the National Association of Realtors (53 percent to Republicans), 
9. the electrical workers unions (97 percent to Democrats), 
10. AT&T (62 percent to Republicans), 
11. Lockheed Martin (61 percent to Republicans — you’ll notice a trend in the pro-GOP groups),
12. Comcast (58 percent to Democrats),
