Catholic Priests Donate More Money to Obama or Romney?

From The Daily Beast - donors to Obama and Romney by profession:
Winner: Obama
Total donations for Obama: $11,195.00
Total donations for Romney: $4,503.00
Apparently, rabbis aren’t the only religious people in support of Obama. Despite the president's pro-choice stance, Catholic priests who have donated to the campaigns side with Obama over Romney 4:1.
Winner: Obama
Total donations for Obama: $58,324.50
Total donations for Romney: $5,515.00
Namaste, Obama. The president can take some comfort in the fact that he's getting huge support from the nation's yoga instructors. Obama has 473 such donors compared to 4 who have given to Romney. But thanks to a single yoga-teaching Romney fan who has donated $5,000 to his campaign, his per-donor average contribution is $1,379, compared to Obama’s $123. Om shanti.
Winner: Obama
Total donations for Obama: $53,955.00
Total donations for Romney: $6,125.00
Earlier this week, Obama unveiled his newest support group: Rabbis for Obama. And according to a recent Gallup poll, 68% of Jewish voters prefer the Democratic incumbent. The grand total of rabbis who are in the pro-Romney camp? Eight. 
Winner: Obama
Total donations for Obama: $41,520.62
Total donations for Romney: $15,154.12
Like other unionized workers, flight attendants would prefer to keep Obama in office.
Winner: Obama
Total donations for Obama: $7,537.16
Total donations for Romney: $1,135.40
The interesting thing about this category: the average donation is nearly the same for both candidates. Obama’s got eight times as many supporters, but both candidates get an average of about $50 from cashiers.
Winner: Romney
Total donations for Obama: $5,603,163.78
Total donations for Romney: $12,517,575.60
Winner: Romney
Total donations for Obama: $42,334.31
Total donations for Romney: $241,248.92
Like farmers, ranchers appear to be skewing right these days, giving nearly six times as much money to Romney than Obama. Romney wins on a per-capita basis, too, with the average donation close to 2.5 times higher ($550 for Romney vs. $22 for Obama).
