Big Oil Companies Spread Their US Presidential Bets

3 Mar 2008

Just like everything else on this planet, the big oil companies are spreading their influential dollars in the US Presidential race. If there ever was a good indicator of who was likely to win, it was campaign contributions from Big Oil. That may no longer be a good indicator.

Exxon-Mobile, which is major contributors in the US election, for one, seems to be calling the 2008 race a pretty tight one between Clinton and Obama, which runs different than the spread indicated by the sum of all oil industry contributors.
