Warren Buffett: Hillary Clinton
built 254 days ago
When it comes to investing dollars in candidates, Buffett clearly favors Democrats. He's donated $65,600 to federal candidates since 1992, almost all of it to Democrats with a handful of contributions to moderate Republicans like Connecticut Rep. Chris Shays, according to Federal Election Commission records available through the nonpartisan Web site opensecrets.org. He gave $4,000 to Clinton's Senate campaign in 2000, and $5,000 to Obama's political action committee, Hope Fund, in 2005.

A contributor and economic adviser to the John Kerry-for-president campaign, Buffett, according to Federal Election Commission records... made contributions to Senators Hillary Clinton, Tom Harkin, Dick Durbin, Charles Schumer, and Russell Feingold, and Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark. It's true that Buffett surfaced as an adviser to California's Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a nominal Republican, but Buffett broke with the movie actor on economic and fiscal affairs by calling for higher property taxes in California.

While carefully withholding a formal endorsement, Buffett has said he'd be happy with either Clinton or Obama as president. Federal Election Commission records show that Buffett donated the maximum $4,600 to Clinton's campaign in January, while no donations to Obama have yet been reported.

A Democrat, Buffett slammed the Senate's recent lifting of the dividend tax and backed Hillary Clinton's bid for the New York Senate seat. Those stands could come back to bite Schwarzenegger if they turn off conservative Republicans.

Buffett has held fundraisers for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for president. He has not indicated who he will vote for, but he has expressed that both would make "great Presidents". (http://www.cnbc.com/id/20279796)
