More on presidential fundraising (updated)

If you want more details on presidential fundraising -- including lists of contributions by state and by ZIP Code to various candidates in the second quarter of 2007, go here.

Again, Dennis Kucinich comes up empty from the Huntington area. I still have a soft spot for the guy because he's the longest of long shots (after Ron Paul), but he still came to Huntington three years ago without handlers and a lot of the celebrity nonsense that comes with the "frontrunner" and "serious" candidates.

Also coming up empty from the Huntington ZIPS were Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.

John Edwards received $1,000 from the 25701 ZIP Code. John McCain received $1,000 from 25701, $1,000 from 25704 and $1,950 from 25705.

Ron Paul, whose support seems strong in his base but ignored everywhere else, raised $2,000 from 25705.

UPDATE:

I pulled a lot of numbers off the FEC site and ran them through Excel and Access. In case anyone is wondering, donors in New York gave the most in the second quarter, followed by California, Florida, Texas, Illinois and the District of Columbia. At the bottom of the list was North Dakota. West Virginia ranked 47th out of the 50 states and DC.

As far as per capita contributions went, DC was by far the highest with $10.27. Connecticut was next at $1.16, followed by New York at 97 cents. At the bottom of the per capita rankings were Kentucky and West Virginia at 6 cents each, Montana at 5 cents and North Dakota at 3 cents. Other than our small population base, it's easy to see why candidates tend to skip us during primary season.
