In Case You Wondered How Big Money Gets Into the Right Mailbox to Help the Little Guys and Gals

Just to try to bring this whole campaign finance thread around Ann Marie Buerkle and Paul Singer of Elliott Associates and Elliott Management hedge funds to a logical conclusion, here are data about contributions from Elliott  to AMB's 2010 campaign, and specific contributions attributed to various employees of both Elliott companies.

I laugh as I write "logical conclusion". The project has given me a big headache. This is only one very tiny corner that may not yet be entirely swept out and lighted. There is nothing logical about it, and it is in no way conclusive. Onward.

We repost, with thanks, the following data which was collected and posted by www.OpenSecrets.org:
