GOP donors missing

According to Jonathan Martin the donors who supported the Romney and Thompson campaigns are not lining up to write checks for the campaign campaign. Martin also notices this:

The absence of K Street types who backed other candidates during the primary is especially puzzling given the hard truth that McCain is likely the GOP's only real chance at victory. Re-taking the House and Senate almost certainly won't happen, so why wouldn't donors want to get on the good side of the one Republican who has a shot to be running a branch of government next January?

Puzzling indeed. Perhaps they would rather have a Dem than McCain. Team McCain should snip this graph and trumpet it to the world. "K street lobbyists oppose McCain!" In a day and age where the lobbying profession is at an all time low in public opinion polls, this could be a silver lining in the otherwise discouraging news about fund raising.
