POPSFollow The Money - Republican Execs Going Democratic 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. It was absolutely inconceivable to me that after 9/11 another catastrophe could hit a major American city, and the United States government was not prepared. John Canning, a deputy board chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago and CEO of Madison Dearborn Partners LLC, expressed similar misgivings. He described the Republican Party in an April interview as neanderthal for its positions on stem-cell research and global warming. He says he liked Obama's opposition to the war in Iraq and his approach to reducing greenhouse gases. I no longer find myself on the same page as Republicans.
