Totally dated graphic...still interesting

I think you could interpret this a lot of ways but I have a theory as to why this looks the way it does: I think most firms assumed Obama's victory and wanted to back the winner (easy bet to place) but Merrill said, "to hell with this," and stuck to their republican guns.

Any other thoughts on why it broke out the way it did?

    Wall St. gives quite a bit to the DNC and Dem. candidates than one would assume. Historically, Goldman Sachs has given a lot more to Dems than Reps. That will definitely be changing in the next cycle.

    As for ML, I think its the Tony Ace factor.
