Profs are donating to Democrats in a big way « Thread Started on Aug 17, 2007, 9:13am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Profs are donating to Democrats in a big way Date published: 8/17/2007 read at source> http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2007 ... /308537THE FACT that college professors and administrators lean left is not exactly breaking news. What is interesting is that they are increasingly putting their money where their mouths are.According to the bipartisan Center for Responsive Politics, people employed by institutions of higher learning already have contributed more than $7 million to 2008 presidential campaigns--three-quarters of it to Democrats. This is after their giving doubled to $30 million in 2004, in an effort to defeat George W. Bush.The rarefied air of academia bodes particularly well this year for Barack Obama: College and university employees have given more than $1.5 million so far to see him gain the White House. And while Hillary Clinton's nearly $1 million lags well behind, her take is still more than the amounts donated to Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain combined.
