72% of Bain Capital’s political donations for the 2012 presidential race have gone to Obama. The attacks on the capital markets are a big mistake for the Dems. Bain’s investment portfolio was and still remains incredible.

$2.5mm is enough to hire 25 to 50 people, btw — for one year.

Where’s that 72 percent from? This one:

Plug the words “Bain Capital” into an OpenSecrets.org search and you learn that while Bain people have lovingly contributed to their former CEO’s presidential campaign, almost 3/4 of their contributions to other candidates, 72% to be precise, have gone to Democrats. That’s a higher percentage to Dems than the AFL-CIO!

Or this one?

Between his campaign committee and a monster super PAC supporting his candidacy, Romney has benefited from about 72% percent of the near $33 million Wall Street has contributed through February.
