Now that it's raining today, I am taking the advice of the gang over @ Hot AZ It Gets and did a search of the Political Money Line, a great Internet Search Engine that finds donors to political campaigns. But who to search for?

Since time and web space won't allow us to look at all members of each group, let's look at the leaders of these two groups. Horst Kraus, recently elected as the President of the GCPC and Carl Seel, the newly elected Chairman of the PAChyderm Coalition. Here is what was found:

Not only is there a difference between the Pachyderm Coalition and the Grand Canyon Pachyderm Club in the matter they are formed and operated, there appears to be also a huge difference between the president of the one and the president of the other when it comes to supporting Republican Candidates and Conservative Causes.
