Does most of this money come from U.S. based international corporations (i.e Coca-Cola; Nabisco; etc.)? If so, does anyone have an accurate, relatively recent dollar amount from any particular year?

You can actually look up this information about candidates as they have to report exactly who gives them money if it is above a certain amount (something like $1,000). Major corporations, labor unions, political action committees, public service organizations, and wealthy individuals all contribute to political campaigns for a variety of reasons.

Some get contributions from corporations, big business, lobbiests, and from countries that want them to carry out their particular countries foreign policy without them being directly involved. A lot of the elections are bought.

Every candidate has to file where their money comes from. It a law. Most Corp. donate to both sides, an equal amt. Called cover you ***.
I take it you are not one to send money to your favorite candidate, I find that hard to believe. Almost every one does one way or another.

Its all though donations. Private, PAc and Corporate.
You will find that most major companies give to both sides, kind of "Hedging their bets."

I just answered your question with a question of my own. It is about getting around the ethics of using Lobbyists.
