From Crain's Chicago Business:
Scores of Chicago executives who previously backed President Barack Obama are keeping their wallets closed or opening them only for Mitt Romney this time around.Technorati tags: republicans elections illinois politics Mitt Romney Republican Chicago current affairs ObamaBarack Obama
Despite their usual Republican leanings, a lot of business execs jumped on the Obama bandwagon in 2008, especially in Chicago, where many had a firsthand connection with him or his closest supporters. For investors such as Sam Zell, John Canning Jr. or David Herro, their $2,300 contributions were a token gesture compared with tens of thousands of dollars they gave to his rival. So it's no surprise to see these men go all in on Mitt Romney this time around.
