Yes Enron contributed to both parties. I think it was about 3 to 1 in favor of republican candidates. I would like to see someone come up with a full list of who got what and how they voted on issues that Enron was interested in. I would also like to see who the candidates were which got money from Enron but didn't win their election. I'll bet that there were more republicans who got money from Enron and lost that the opposite for the simple reason that the companies interests were more in line with the republican platform and therefore they would have liked to see more republicans in Washington than democrats. Therefore they would not contribute to a democrat unless he was a heavy favorite or if they thought there might be a chance he could be bought. I am not surprised that they would give money to democrats that had no chance of losing their election. In the 25% of the elections that they gave to a democrat I would like to see how much they gave to the democrats opponent. One reason for Enron to contribute to a democrat would be so maybe he wouldn't fight so hard against things they favored even if they knew he wasn't going to vote for the Bush/Enron/oil bills. To me the Enron scandal is about a 90% Enron/Bush scandal and 10% a democrat scandal.
