Just in case you weren't convinced that Ben Barnes is the partisan that he is. Review his contributions over the last several years:

Looks like he has given approx. $2500 to Republican candidates since 1979... out of literally hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates.

Most notably his contribution of $20,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign in 1997.

Mother Jones ranks Barnes as the top 23rd donor putting 92% to Democrats

As noted elsewhere, Barnes and his company (Entrecorp) hosted a reception at the Boston DNC:

6 p.m.-8 p.m. Friday
"Entrecorp Inc. Reception
Location: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, 2 Palace Road, Boston
Host: Entrecorp Inc. & Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee "
