I followed your link and broadened the search somewhat. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do a permalink, but...
A Barry Myers (VP at AccuWeather -- maybe Joel's son?) donated $5000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee. He and his wife also made additional donations of at least $2250 to the NRCC and Santorum.
Joel also gave $250 to the Republican Federal Committee of Pennsylvania.
A Peggy Myers in the same city gave Santorum $700.
By my count, that's $11,750 to Santorum and/or the GOP (but excluding Arlen Spector and candidates I don't recognize). So cheer up -- maybe it
does take more than $5000 to buy a Senator!
