| Check out this table of stimulus spending from the Senate Republican Conference. SolyndraÂ’s half a billion in stimulus cash turns out to have been such a large amount of money that it eclipsed 35 entire states. Make sure to link this post on your facebook and twitter feeds, people need to see just how large a boondoggle Solyndra really was. This wasn't a bailout, it was a money laundering operation to take taxpayer money and funnel it into democratic coffers. |

| #7 Hard to tell the split - Kansas had a dim temp governor until '10, cornhusker kickback era, etc. so agree with Nimble's conclusion. |

| #6 Stimulus facts—Period 2 (PDF) By Veronique de Rugy Democratic districts also received 2.65 times the amount of stimulus dollars that Republican districts received $122 billion vs. $46 billion). Republican districts also received smaller awards on average. The average dollars awarded per Republican district is $26 million, while the average dollars awarded per Democratic district is about $472 million. In total, Democratic districts received 73 percent of the total stimulus funds awarded and Republican districts received 27 percent of the total amount awarded. |

| #5 How many of those states were republican? Not CO, CT, DE, DC, HA, MD, MA, NM, RI, VT or WA, so it seems pretty reasonable. Probably more a reflection of the power of the congressional delegations than executive favoritism. |

| #4 Obama couldn't have one of his biggest contributors lose $75 million when Solyndra went bankrupt. That's the taxpayers' job. |
