His supporters include heavy hitters in the business world who have never been involved in politics, and even some Republicans. Goldman Sachs president JOHN THORNTON hasn't raised money for a candidate before, doesn't even give to the company's political-action committee; but since meeting Bradley nine months ago, he has been asking for and getting checks from friends--including Goldman chairman HENRY PAULSON, a Republican...
