I would suspect corporations gave far more to the Republicans overall. The FEC keeps donation records for the last few election cycles. So looking at the last 10 years it shouldn't be too difficult to do a stats analysis to look at direct contributions. The problem is that how to assess PAC or interest group contributions as well. That may be where the real difference lies - who gets contributions who donors want to remain hidden.
