So which political party has benefited the most from McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform?

Take a guess.

As a matter of fact, take three guesses.

And the first two don't count......

Noteworthy:

"Krumholz said industry and special interest groups are giving more to Democrats both in Congress and to Democratic presidential candidates. On average, such groups are giving 57 percent of their contributions to Democrats. That is a 14 percentage point shift from the 2006 and 2004 when Democrats got only 43 percent.

Biggest givers include all the usual suspects, with lawyers and law firms increasing their giving 52 percent, real estate is up 51 percent and the entertainment industry up 68 percent. Curiously, healthcare and insurance industry giving are only up 23 percent."

Yep.

Sounds like they REALLY fixed the (their) problem, didn't they?
