17. Nice, but I kind of feel that this list is not so useful without a breakdown by type.

IBM "gave" about 400,000. But IBM is a huge company, it would not be surprising if 2,000 liberal employees of IBM independently gave 200 each just because they like Obama. On the other hand, if this is a bundled contribution from 200 execs giving the max 2,000 each, that sounds more like a concerted effort to influence legislation. But the list doesn't distinguish, so I am not sure what conclusions to draw.

I guess I think it would be more useful with information like size and number of bundled contributions, how many checks, average and median amounts, etc.
