Here is the most rational study I've ever seen on the issue. The methodology is to look at the records of politicians before they announce retirement and after they announce retirement. This is important because after a politician announces retirement, the donations stop flowing and the "influence of the money" evaporates.
So what do you think? Is there evidence that donations influence the way politicians vote?
