The biggest recipients? Senators Norm Coleman (a total of $7,500) and Saxby Chambliss (a total of $7,000) received the most out of all senators who are running for re-election. Earning a honorable mention and getting the most bang out of the special interest buck is Senator Roger Wicker, who received a total of $5,000 from Fannie Mae even though he only replaced predecessor Trent Lott on December 31, 2007.
Given that the federal government (and taxpayers for that matter) recently took over Fannie Mae, wouldn't the best thing these senators could do for taxpayers would be to return campaign contributions to Fannie Mae?
