Abramoff in Minnesota

Capital Eye has a full breakdown of Abramoff's political contributions, as well as those of tribes connected with him, including SunCruz Casinos. The list tracks contributions from 1999.

It turns out that contributions made in Minnesota do break down party lines.

Republicans:

Norm Coleman - $3,000
Mark Kennedy - $1,000

Total - $4,000

Democrats:

Paul Wellstone - $1,000
Bill Luther - $2,250
James Oberstar - $3,500
State Democratic Party - $9,000

Total - $15,750

If you add the $3,000 given to Independent Mark Foley, non-Republican politicians received $18,750, over 4.5 times more than Republicans.

I guess, in Minnesota anyway, that makes Abramoff a slimy Democratic operative.
