Per this list, it seems clear that the GOP candidate falls
into the classic “Yankee” cabal of mainly East Coast, Big Banker and Financial
Services corporations. It is also clear who’s
pocket Mitt will be in, should he be elected in November. Likewise, Obama falls
into the “Cowboy” cabal of mainly West Coast, Silicon Valley
and the Entertainment Industry, with University and Law Firm monies thrown in. He too will be beholding, should he win a second term.
This November is shaping up to be another knock-down,
drag-out brawl between the Yankees and the Cowboys. This matchup promises to be
a “bare-knuckle” no-holds-barred fight, with no mercy given on either side. Regardless
of whether the election results favor the Democrats or Republicans, there will
be some big players standing in line with their hand out, expecting a return
favor.
It just goes to show that American politics is the best politics money can buy!
