er also gave $5,000 to a joint fundraising committee on McCain’s behalf.
Here are some of the larger donations unearthed by The Times' Dan Morain, whose main McCain fundraising story is available here:

Thankfully, there are some who have thought this out. Mr. Obama is just NOT ready. Even GWB had more experience that he does and remember the outcry then?
This Pechanga person says NO to Obama. Let's get hillary....

Trotting out what people gave to which candidate points out who the real bottom feeders of jounalism are. It's the really high iQ guys that get their rocks off by catching John Edwards in an embarrassing situation that will ultimately kill his political career? Is this why I chose politics hopping to be inspired by covering statesmens' speaches and great men instead of picadillos and contributions that make no different?
