So I\u2019ve been doing a little data mining over at the Federal Election Commission\u2019s website. Earlier today, I presented you with the military\u2019s favorite candidate<\/a>. This time, I was curious to see which candidates folks who work for organizations that have the word Catholic<\/em> in them support.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I found listed by folks employers who have contributed. It looks like folks support the two candidates in the photograph above with their dollars.<\/p>\n

1. Barack Obama (10\/19\/2011)<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How about them apples? True, this is a tiny sample and subset of folks who have actually given money to candidates. And there are plenty of Catholics that support other candidates. But I think that it is telling that of the folks who work for Catholic organizations, Barack Obama and Ron Paul seem to be the top choices.<\/p>\n

Are we having fun yet? Don\u2019t shoot the messenger.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
