WASHINGTON — Fewer than one in 10 of the big-bucks fundraisers who helped George W. Bush shatter campaign money records in 2000 and 2004 have donated to Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign, a Houston Chronicle analysis of Federal Election Commission data has found. Mitt Romney holds a wide lead in donations received from the 939 “Pioneers” and “Rangers” who raised at least $100,000 each for Bush. Romney has received 148 donations totaling $351,250 from Bush’s top money people, compared with Perry’s 87 contributions worth $213,000 and Tim Pawlenty’s 47 donations for $102,867. Herman Cain has not received any support from former Bush fundraisers, the study found.
