I saw the numbers somewhere and it was in the $600,000 range for each political party.

I just went on google, typed in Enron Democrat Contributions and came up with this: opensecrets.org It shows money evenly distributed. EDIT: more slanted towards Republicans, of course they were the ones in power. And this: “Kenneth Lay and Enron have lined the pockets of both Democrats and Republicans. They have also, apparently, committed one of the biggest securities frauds in world history, adversely affecting the livelihood of millions of families. Now, it will be important to make sure that they are held accountable under the law. Because no one is above the law,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. judicialwatch.org And this shows more contributed to Republicans: Since the 1989-90 election cycle, Enron has made nearly $5.8 million in campaign contributions, with 73 percent going to Republicans. The company contributed $113,800 to the Bush campaign, including the use of corporate jets, ranking as the campaign's 12th-largest donor. The company also donated $100,000 to Senate Democrats one week before filing for bankruptcy. The company's attorney said it was simply a reflection that Democrats now control the Senate. washtimes.com
