Indeed. Looks like GS was hedging their bets - they gave $230,000 to McCain's campaign as well: http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/co...&cid=n00006424

Actually, comparing the lists for both major candidates shows a lot of overlap

Top contributors for Obama
University of California $1,591,395
Goldman Sachs $994,795
Harvard University $854,747
Microsoft Corp $833,617
Google Inc $803,436
Citigroup Inc $701,290
JPMorgan Chase & Co $695,132
Time Warner $590,084

Top Contributors for McCain
Merrill Lynch $373,595
Citigroup Inc $322,051
Morgan Stanley $273,452
Goldman Sachs $230,095
JPMorgan Chase & Co $228,107
US Government $208,379
AT&T Inc $201,438
