Wealthy Donors Sided With Democrats In Midterms

Philip Elliott, Dec. 24, 2014, AP

Among the top 100 individual donors to political groups, more than half gave primarily to Democrats or their allies. Among groups that funneled more than $100,000 to allies, the top of the list tilted overwhelmingly toward Democrats — a group favoring the GOP doesn't appear on the list until No. 14.
