Klobuchar & Peterson were the only two Minnesota politicians to get anything from them last year - not a dime to the Republican incumbants in the state.

The amounts paid to Klobuchar ($5,000) and Peterson ($10,000 - note that ol' Colin got twice as much for his House race) are even more telling when you look at the totals donated to Republicans & Democrats:

House:
Total to Democrats: $72,000
Total to Republicans: $190,500

Senate:
Total to Democrats: $37,500
Total to Republicans: $85,000
