And if you'd looked at the data in those numbers you're talking about they came from mostly individual donors over the course of 15 years. Not to mention that many of those companies were hit hard on 9/11 and Clinton and Schumer were very helpful in getting things back to normal. That earns some loyalty. Morgan Stanley alone had apx 15 floors of offices in 2 World Trade.
