THOMAS B. EDSALL, HUFFINGTON POST - The defense industry this year
abandoned its decade-long commitment to the Republican Party, funneling
the lion share of its contributions to Democratic presidential
candidates, especially to Hillary Clinton who far out-paced all her
competitors. An examination of contributions of $500 or more, using the
Huffington Post's Fundrace website, shows that employees of the top five
arms makers - Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman, Raytheon and
General Dynamics -- gave Democratic presidential candidates $103,900,
with only $86,800 going to Republicans.
Senator Clinton took in $52,600, more than half of the total going to
all Democrats, and a figure equaling 60 percent of the sum going to the
entire GOP field. Her closest competitor for defense industry money is
former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R.), who raised $32,000.
