It may be that Microsoft employees/shareholders/alumni donated a comparable or larger amount of money to that given directly in Microsoft's name. I wouldn't be surprised if it skewed towards Kerry too, given the north-west and intelligence bias.

The bigger moral is that both parties are playing (payed) in the battle for information rights. I hope everyone out there that cares about information rights will bark at their corresponding political parties.
Bark! Say "This sucks and I won't support it!" I have no party affiliation, but if I did, I wouldn't have voted for either major presidentail candidiate regardless. #5 (Kerry) vs. #19 (Bush) just doesn't attract to me either way. This was an easy election to win, but the Democrats presented #5 instead.
