Ted, Silicon Valley High-tech execs prefer Democrats by a 3:1 ratio ****************************************************** Democrats raised $4.2M in the Bay Area, an amount that's significantly higher than the $1.45M Bush raised here. ****************************************************** "overall individual contributions in the Bay Area illustrate the Democratic Party's strength in the liberal region: Here, Bush managed only to (raise) $1.45 million" "Combined, all the Democratic presidential candidates -- 10 of them at one point -- easily out-raised Bush in the Bay Area in 2003, collecting a total of $4.2 million." mercurynews.com You'll have to excuse the writer's erroneous statement where he falsely claims hightech execs prefer Bush (On what basis? The large, stodgy, mature firms; not startups) - he must reside in Washington D.C., not the Bay Area. Regards, Amy J
