The answer, according to FlipCongress2010.com, a non-partisan organization devoted to examining the "issues that shape America" and exposing "corruption in Congress", is as follows:

Lawyers comprise 55% of Republican senators and 62% of Democratic senators -- a difference of 7 percentage points.

Lawyers comprise 33% of Republican congressmen and women and 41% of Democratic congressmen and women -- a difference of 8 percentage points.

In other words, both parties are lawyer's parties.
