Reply #43: My apologies. In the insurance sector only, he's still in the top 5 over all, BUT

[chill_wind]

so are these others:
McCain, John (R-AZ) $2,909,803
Obama, Barack (D) $2,499,102
Dodd, Chris (D-CT) $2,316,596
Clinton, Hillary (D-NY) $1,875,265
Kerry, John (D-MA) $1,396,617,

all having had presidential races. So, although I ordinarily like Jane Hamsher, I'm a little uncomfortable with what she's doing with her particular numbers, too. In the last 2 years, he's only taken $250 from this sector. In fact, we can look back and see he's not any where near the top in the last few cycles:
