Goldman Sachs to Fund Romney Over Obama - Bloomberg

 ROMNEY RULES ON WALL STREET - Bloomberg’s Jonathan D. Salant: “Mitt Romney’s investment background, criticized by some of his Republican presidential rivals, is helping him build a financial advantage over them. In the fourth quarter of last year, eight of the 10 biggest donors to Romney ... worked for banks and investment funds, according to data compiled by Bloomberg based on [FEC] information ... Citigroup employees gave $196,600. Those at JPMorgan Chase & Co. donated $180,518, and Goldman Sachs Group workers contributed $106,580 For the whole campaign, Goldman Sachs employees and their families have been the largest source of campaign cash for Romney, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based group that tracks political money. They have given him almost half a million dollars; four years ago, they gave $1 million to President Barack Obama.”
