Unnatural Alliance?

The NYTimes reports that a number of highly successful hedge fund managers, not just George Soros, donates money to the Democrats. Aside from Soros who spent millions trying to unseat George Bush in 2004, big donors to the Dems include:

- James Simons (Renaissance)
- Paul Tudor Jones (Tudor Investment)
- Ken Griffin (Citadel) donated to both parties
- Israel Englander (Millenium)

These are some of the smartest moneymakers around - seems their political intelligence may not be as strong as their financial perspicacity...
