President and CEO Steve Ballmer, speaking at a luncheon for the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce, was hit with the question from an audience member about the Justice Department's suit against the company and whether it's had an effect on political contributions. "Yes. Next question," Ballmer said with a grin, prompting a round of laughter and applause from the mostly friendly audience. ************* In donating to political parties, however, the company has been leaning Republican, especially in "soft money" donations. According to records from the Federal Election Commission, National Republican election committees, such as those aiding House and Senate candidates, have received $941,708 from March 23, 1999, through July 11, 2000. In approximately the same time period, National Democratic election committees received just $390,292. cbs.marketwatch.com <vbg> Cordially, Thunder
