Partisan ramblings? From the same article. "The Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan group that tracks campaign donations, examined contributions to presidential contenders from individuals and political action committees linked to high-tech firms. ......... According to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission on July 15, Bush was the top overall fund-raiser for the first half of this year, $37.3 million. Gore was second, $19.6 million, followed by Bradley, $11.7 million. The center said it found that Bush's top high-tech donors included members of his newly created Information Technology Advisory Council. The council, which will advise Bush on technology issues and recruit industry leaders into his campaign, includes executives from Dell Computer Corp (Nasdaq:DELL - news) ., Texas Instruments, Inc., Microsoft Corp (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) . and EMC Corp (NYSE:EMC - news). Together, the center found, employees at the these firms, along with family members, contributed more than $80,000 to Bush, son of former President George Bush. In addition, individuals at Affiliated Computer Services gave Bush $32,325." Have someone read it to you. JLA

>>Its common knowledge that Doerr is Gore's top contributor... he may be contributing to Bradley's campaign too, I don't know. Paul Gigot in the WSJ has slammed Doerr on a few occasions about this so there must be some source for it, but since I don't know how to research campaign contributions I can't provide any proof. The WSJ needs to manage the political situation in their own backyard or preferably leave the partisan rambling to Chris Matthews on hardball. Check again, Michelle, that story was from Reuters via Yahoo! Although I do agree that the WSJ's Al Hunt is a great embarrassment, emphasis on the third syllable, but just imagine being married to the mouse, Judy Woodruff!. I'm sure whatever he uses for brains were scrambled long before he started displaying it publicly. >>It just kills the conservatives when the liberals (or more accurately, anybody to the left of the religious zealotry on the right) have more money and influence than they do! Too bad for the WSJ, Doerr is smarter than almost anybody and probably doesn't want the 10 commandments listed as required reading in schools. Doerr may think he's smarter, thinking he can buy the Dems off from their natural path of ruining high tech but that won't stop Silicon Valley and high tech in general from supporting Bush over the self-proclaimed "inventor of the internet" and self-proclaimed model for "Love Story", that great tobacco farmer and Leftist automaton, AlGore. Remember, Michelle, the least educated and least astute vote Dem. That is a fact. Don't be an icon.
