"Nearly 10 percent of the Nader contributors who have given him at least $250 each have a history of supporting the Republican president, national GOP candidates or the party, according to computer-assisted review of financial records by The Dallas Morning News"? That is not surprising, given that 37.6% of the voters who ranked Nader the highest in surveys of voter preferences and actually voted cast their votes for Bush (Barry C. Burden, 4, "Minor Parties in the 2000 Presidential Election," <http://psweb.sbs.ohio-state.edu/faculty/hweisberg/conference/burdosu.pdf>).

Presumably, the question of what percent of the Kerry contributors who have given him at least $250 each have a history of supporting the Republican president, national GOP candidates or the party is not newsworthy, as too many readers expect the answer to be close to 100%. :-)
