DEMS NOW DARLINGS OF BIG MONEY

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

JUSTIN ROOD, ABC - For the last several years, corporate money groups
gave Congressional Republicans two dollars for every buck it handed to
Democrats.  But since the Democrats took over the House and Senate in
2006, Big Business has been more equitable with its handouts, according
to Roll Call newspaper. Last year, Dems harvested money from corporate
PACs at a downright Republican rate, according to an independent
Campaign Finance Institute analysis cited by the paper.  In 2007, Dems
pocketed nearly $30 million from the corporate groups, compared to
roughly $32 million taken by GOP candidates and committees.

Anonymous insiders tell the paper Dems are likely to be tickled by their
new shower of corporate cash.  "They're usually happy if they can get it
to 50/50," says one.  They would probably like even more, the source
said, but they probably don't think they're "entitled" to that much.
