According to Opensecrets.org, Oregon Senator Gordon Smith has raised $122,650 from pro-Israel sources during the current election cycle.  In 2002 he raised $127,339.  His career total $263,239.

While Smith has certainly done his part to carry Israel's water, during this election cycle so far the pro-Israel lobby gave well over $6 million to all candidates of which a whopping 62% went to Democrats.  Clearly, Smith is reaching across the aisle!
