Republic party donors being tight fisted

The Washing Post reports:

More than a third of the top fundraisers who helped elect George W. Bush president remain on the sidelines in 2008, contributing to a gaping financial disparity between the GOP candidates and their Democratic counterparts.

Scores of Bush Pioneers and Rangers are not working for any Republican candidate, citing discontent with the war in Iraq, anger at the performance of Republicans in Congress and a general lack of enthusiasm. More than two dozen have actually made contributions to Democrats.

So what’s this all about:

 

1. Maybe Carville’s right and they are all waiting for Jeb to ride to the rescue      or
2. The big money donors have big money because they don’t throw money into lost causes?
