I wouldn't read too much into this. A large number of companies split there political capital between the parties, to 'hedge their bets'.

But don't you think that this practice is indicative of a larger problem -- that regardless of which major party is in power, corporations can't lose?

Yes, though the larger problem is that major corporations can have "the best democracy money can buy".

Politicians should be required to wear NASCAR uniforms, so that we would know who owns them.
