Of the 100 U.S. Senators, Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY) have accepted the most from lobbyists this election cycle, according to a report released today by the group Public Citizen. The report examines donations by the 50 biggest donors on the hill.

Santorum topped the list of those who have benefitted most from lobby gifts, raking in a whopping $560,738. Clinton, the second biggest recipient, trails Santorum by over 25%, having taken $417,575 from lobbyists and PACs.
