[LCC] Amazon vs. B&N

For those who are curious about my political preference, it is based on 
the fact that Amazon gives 98% of its political contributions to 
Republicans, whereas B&N gives 60% to Democrats (and 40% to Republicans).

This info is a few years old (2004), but the relevant website is down 
right now (http://www.buyblue.org/) so I wasn't able to check whether 
the situation has changed.

In any case, I hope it was clear that I meant politically preferable *to 
me*. I  prefer not to help Amazon do business, given that B&N usually 
works just as well. Others may feel differently.
