740 Park: Ladies Love Chris Dodd

These people are politically passive: Out of the measly ten donations made from the building, eight are courtesy of the Ganek and Mnuchin households (David Ganek is a Level Global honcho, and Steven Mnuchin chairs Dune Capital). Ganek gave to Christopher Dodd, John Edwards, and, in a nice hedge, Rudy Giuliani; Mnuchin went with Edwards and Bill Richardson. Ganek's wife, Danielle, whose occupation is now proudly listed as "author" after the art-world roman à clef Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him, gave to Dodd as well, although we know where her sympathies would lie should Bloomberg run. So did "homemaker" Heather Mnuchin; as a result, Dodd wins the building with a combined $10,200 in gifts! Handsome John Edwards comes in a distant second with $6,300. Oddly, there's not a single Hillraiser on the premises.
