No wonder Senator Christopher Dodd (D-Conn) went wobbly last week when asked about his February amendment ratifying hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses to executives at insurance giant AIG. Dodd has been one of the company's favorite recipients of campaign contributions. But it turns out that Senator Dodd's wife has also benefited from past connections to AIG as well.

I think Schiff would have a pretty good chance in 2010.

This actually raises a good point - opensecrets.org lists campaign contributions to representatives only; it doesn't go into how much money their spouses may receive from the same places, via shell companies and subsidiaries.
