Taxman Loves Obama

IRS employees overwhelmingly back President Barack Obama, according to campaign donations tracked by National Review.

NRO’s Jim Geraghty reports:

In the 2008 cycle, IRS employees donated $101,884 to the Obama campaign and just $2,780 to the campaign of John McCain.

So the president’s advantage in campaign donations from employees of the nation’s tax-enforcement agency has dropped from about 37 to 1 to merely 11 to 1.
