Jeffrey Volk, a managing director at Citigroup in New York, says he grew disenchanted with Republicans after the federal government failed to provide more help to the Gulf region after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He says he's supporting Clinton.

John Canning, a deputy board chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago and CEO of Madison Dearborn Partners LLC, expressed similar misgivings.

He says he liked Obama's opposition to the war in Iraq and his approach to reducing greenhouse gases.

I think it may also be the case that they want to do their business with a party which isn't shackled in religious fundamentalist clap-trap. The dems are no strangers to carrying water for business.
