Figure 3. Dotplots of contribution amounts by party, and the fitted logistic regression of the probability of a YES on party and amount contributed. Dotted lines are used for extrapolated values for the regression (six Democrats received no contribution; they are indicated by a solid dot). The vertical line at the $8000 contribution amount marks Vermont's James Jeffords, the sole independent in the Senate.
