although he’s better known for his philanthropy, Qualcomm founder Irwin Mark Jacobs has long blessed Democratic causes with four- and five-figure contributions.

In recent months, he has upped the ante.

Jacobs, whose an estimated net worth is $1.4 billion, last month donated $2 million to Priorities USA Action, a super PAC working for the re-election of Barack Obama.

1. I Thought George Soros

was the only billionaire to give to Dems.

In the comments sections, Soros is the only name I ever see them whining about besides "Hollywood liberals"

2. That's good, but still nothing compared to the Kochs and Adelson who have hundreds of billions. n/t

3. Those two could easily buy 20 senate seats with 50M/seat. With 10Billion each from

Kochs and Adelson, they can buy the entire House and Senate as well as the Presidency. That's how bad it is now.

4. Exactly. We don't have ANYONE with the money THEY have. n/t

6. Thank you Mr Jacobs!!

7. Thanks Irwin!!

The reason the GOP is raising money so fast? Because their candidate sucks and they know it. Obama doesn't need nearly as much money as Romney as long as he can compete.

We do need help for the down ballot races though.

8. We have our very own official Billionaire...woohoo!! n/t
