From blog.sunlightfoundation.com In the 2008 election cycle, car dealerships made 71.5% of their congressional campaign contributions to Republican candidates. The average contribution to a Republican candidate was nearly twice as high ($11,973 vs. $6,658) as the average contribution for a Democratic candidate. Excluding lawmakers running for the presidency (Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Joe Biden), the top eleven recipients were Republicans. Only two Democrats, Reps. Ron Klein and Charles Rangel, received enough contributions to knock them into the top 20. And see opensecrets.org
