1. Nine out of the Ten who got the least from the HC Industry voted yes.

2. That's oddly uninformative. One would expect more of direct
correlation.

3. The campaign contribution angle is usually overblown.
Especially when contributions from nurses and doctors count the same as those from AHIP.

5. Weird that they're tallied together. Are nurses also included in the Union donations figures?

6. Arggh!!! Someone needs to fix the sort function!
It only sorts by the first digit, so $9,299 comes out higher than $2,000,000. Still, interesting info.

7. looks like senority got the most $$
I couldn't tell at first look - was this chart total or annual or campaign bi-annual?..

As I looked at Ohio's delegation, those with more senoirty had a lot more in contributions - regardless of party affiliaition or ideology.
