Booz Allen Hamilton sees a HUGE difference btwn Dems and Repubs

Followed a link earlier to the Influence Explorer data on Booz Allen Hamilton and couldn't believe what I saw.
Judging from their campaign contributions, BAH has quite a preference for Democrats generally and Obama in particular.

Also notice, as you go down thru the years, there's consistent interest in the presidential races. They obviously believe the president is where their investment is best spent.

But, given that, there's some strange speculations on their part. Why so little money to Bush Jr.? Why the heavy preference for Obama over Hillary? It's not like she's been unfriendly to defense.

Then check out the pre-9/11 contributions. The most they spent was $6,750 on Bill Bradley. That's compared to the $101,781 they spent on Obama in 2008. Holy crap that's a significant change in their campaign spending.

Here's their highest campaign contributions for all years 1989-2013:







Here's their highest campaign contributions for the 2012 presidential cycle -- notice how much of a premium the put on the presidential race:







Here's their highest campaign contributions for the 2008 presidential cycle -- they were nearly TWICE as invested in Obama as they were in Hillary: What gave Obama the competitive advantage over Hillary?







Going back to 2004 it starts to get more interesting -- why are they not so bullish on Bush? What sense does that make?








And, this for me is the kicker...Gore only received $1000 from them in 2001:
