Both sides help out those that donate to them. How do they actually do it? Do they actually call up the government bid division or send and email to say hey my buddy made a bid donation give him a contract? Yes i know it doesn't happen that way! lol
EXAMPLE: From my thread about Hall Rogers Prince of Pork .
"Rogers and those who speak for him tell us it is absolutely coincidental that one of Rogers' major campaign donors, J.C. Egnew, is chairman of the board of the Somerset-based non-profit National Institute for Hometown Security, which has benefited from $52 million in federal earmarks orchestrated by Rogers. And as chance would have it, Egnew also owns a tent-making company that has gotten millions in federal orders. NIHS' commercialization director, Shannon Rickett, also just happens to be chairwoman of the Republican Party in Rogers' 5th Congressional District."
