I read the paragraph near the end of the article.

From article:

Also, as might be expected from someone who had $2.2 billion to his name, Stanford donated to political campaigns, and Republican senators are now moving fast to shuffle contributions to charity. (They might want to consider St. Jude Hospital, which Stanford had supported.)

anybody have any idea who these Senators are?!? a list to pass around to there constituents would be nice.

From article:

Sen. Nelson said late Tuesday that he would return money received by Stanford. "I will give to charity any campaign contributions from him or his employees," Nelson said through his spokesman.


A McCain spokesperson said Wednesday that all contributions from Stanford would be donated. "The McCain Campaign is donating all contributions from R. Allen Stanford, and from individuals associated with Stanford Financial, to charity." This spokesperson said they will donate contributions made to both McCain's Presidential and Senate campaigns, but did not have a dollar amount.

McCain! Damn you, McCain!

We should have known he was on the take- how else could he have beaten RP?

Didn't his little buddy Sarah get any of the dirty money?
