highlighted McCain, Clinton, Obama and Kerry as the top beneficiaries.

My point, then and now, was that anyone COULD remove the contributions for the Presidential runs and look at the chat that has just Senate campaigns. Even then, it would be good to scale them so they are NOT comparing say Chambliss, with his 2 races, vs McCain with far more. (This is more the mathematician/statistician in me than anything political. )
