"Rudy Giuliani has the most support among notable sports figures who have donated to next year's presidential contenders, according to the Miami Herald's Political Contributions Search.
Giuliani a lifelong Yankees fan has gotten donations from owner George Steinbrenner ($4,600), GM Brian Cashman ($2,300), team president Randy Levine ($2,500) and even the Yankees clubhouse manager Louis Cucuzza ($250)
NASCAR chairman Brian France has donated $9,200 to Giulian's (sic) campaign. President Michael Helton kicked in $4,600 for the former mayor of New York.
Pro Football Hall of Famer and Broncos QB legend John Elway ($2,300) is also supporting Giuliani.
Peyton and Eli Manning's older brother Cooper tossed out $2,500 for Giuliani's run to the White House."Then, there's the commie-lovers:
NBA commissioner David Stern has donated $4,600 for Hillary Clinton's campaign.
• MLB commissioner Bud Selig $4,600 for Chris Dodd's campaign.
• NFL commissioner Roger Goodell $2,300 for John McCain's campaign.
• Cowboys owner Jerry Jones $4,600 for John McCain's campaign.
• Dodgers owner Jamie McCourt $2,300 to Hillary Clinton and Chris Dodd's campaign's
• Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner $2,000 for Joe Biden's campaign
• Red Sox CEO Larry Lucchino $1,000 for Chris Dodd and Hillary Clinton's campaign's
• SF Giants owner Peter Magowan $4,600 to John McCain's campaign
• Knicks guard Stephon Marbury $2,300 for Barack Obama's campaign
Figures that the Red Sox bigwigs would get all warm and fuzzy about RodHam and Biden. John McCain is still well loved by older patriotic Americans so there's no news there, and the fact that a lifelong Yankee fan should garner support from...the Yankees...is DUH-worthy.
