Who would have thunk it? The dems have more financial support than the Republicans. I was just sure that big business owns the Republicans and finances them so they can stay in office and allow greedy ol' mean big business to keep crushing skulls under their boot heels so they can earn another nickel.

They (the big campaign spending corporations and individuals, I mean) may be abandoning a sinking ship and attempting to extend their influence to the party most likely to be in power. Seems to be working.
