Starting from the study of the checking of campaign accounts submitted to the Electoral Court by 228 candidates competed for the post of Senator of the Republic in the elections of 2010, this work seeks to discover patterns in finance showing the existence of a relationship between the electoral performances of those candidates and obtaining money from private sources. Also sought to identify and establish the behavioral profile of the major private donors regarding their strategies of support by funding candidates. The data presented here support the hypothesis that the contribution of financial resources is one of the determining factors for electoral success as well as the composition of these resources is concentrated in large donations from industries with strong linkages with the State, bringing serious distortions to the Brazilian electoral system. / Esta pesquisa analisa como se manifesta a rela??o entre as fontes privadas de recursos e os candidatos nas elei??es brasileiras, sob a ?gide do atual modelo de financiamento de campanhas adotado no pa?s. Partindo do estudo das presta??es de contas de campanhas apresentadas ? Justi?a Eleitoral pelos 228 candidatos que concorreram ao cargo de Senador da Rep?blica nas elei??es de 2010, este trabalho busca descobrir padr?es no financiamento que comprovem a exist?ncia de uma rela??o entre o desempenho eleitoral desses candidatos e a obten??o de recursos advindos de fontes privadas. Objetivou-se, ainda, identificar e estabelecer o perfil comportamental dos principais doadores privados com rela??o ? suas estrat?gias de apoio atrav?s do financiamento de candidatos. Os dados aqui apresentados sustentam a hip?tese de que o aporte de recursos financeiros ? um dos fatores determinantes para o sucesso eleitoral, assim como que a composi??o desses recursos est? concentrada em grandes doa??es oriundas de setores com fortes vincula??es com o Estado, trazendo s?rias distor??es ao sistema eleitoral brasileiro.
