In the chart below, those in red lost more (as a percentage) than their peers in their respective industry. Of course, the first thing you notice is, that most of them were in financials.
Now of course, even Obama's donors lost paper value on their stocks, (Wells Fargo gave slightly less to Obama than Romney), but not on the scale of Romney's contributors.
And the reason why those financials lost big? Now they won't be able to repeal Dodd-Frank. Equally important, Elizabeth Warren -- the person they blocked from becoming the head of the newly created Consumers Financial Protection Bureau -- is now a senator, ready to take on the banking industry from the Capitol Hill.
