3. The article implies before 1995 they ONLY gave to the Dems.

since the article says they later started giving to Repubs.

The only breakdown I could find was for 1996, in which 87% of donations from Gaming donors went to Dems (Abramoff's clients, the Choctaws, only gave 45k of the 1.2 mil in soft money, and only $500 i hard money). Unfortunately, non-gaming Tribal donors gave 60% to Repub's and only 39% to Dem's. That doesn't look too good.

But, it does show that gaming Tribes were long-term contributers to Dem's and probably had nothing to do with Abramoff.
