I supported Pat Toomey when he ran in 2010. I gave him money in September of 2009 because I wanted him to be the U.S. senator. I personally contributed my own money.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had supported Governor George W. Bush over Senator John McCain in the 2000 Rhode Island presidential primary.
I have respect for Senator McCain. I used to like him a lot. I supported him. I raised a lot of money for his campaign against President Obama.
I supported Barack Obama. I wasn't very quiet about my support. I thought he was going to be a refreshing change to George Bush. But what has happened is that we have an election that's become a single-issue election, and that issue is Barack Obama. And he's an icon to both sides.
I've always believed in supporting the best candidate at the time.
He was my favorite senator... I love him. He made the liberals squeal.
I have given to Democrats in the past. I've always believed in supporting the best candidate at the time.
I worked in the Senate in the 1970s. I worked for the Labor, Public Welfare Committee, and we had Ted Kennedy and my old boss, Bill Hathaway, and Walter Mondale.
I supported Hillary Clinton. She would have made an excellent president. I didn't think she could get elected. I thought it was too soon.
I was a surrogate for Obama; I helped fundraise. I'm still a supporter.
I've been an Obama supporter since he announced he was campaigning. I was aware of him as a senator, but I wasn't as engaged as I probably should've been.
