bzarcherSo, CNN has a neat tool to let you see fundraising in your state for the Election.
"OK", says I, "Let's see what's up."
Dems is about what you'd expect: Obama at about $800k (pretty evenly distributed with spikes in Cuyahoga, Franklin, and Hamilton counties), Clinton around $750k (ditto) , Edwards with about $450k (mostly from down near the WV border), and then a sharp drop leading to Mike Gravel at $1,500. March on, you old soldier.
Republicans is...um...
1. Mitt Romney - $1.5 million dollars (WTF? Somewhat more interesting - over $750k of that came from Hamilton County / Cincinnati. Wow.)
2. Rudy Gulliani - $750k (hey, I guess he did actually campaign somewhere outside of NYC)
3. McCain - $325k
4. Ron Paul - $309,191? WHAT THE FUCK.
Pretty much every county in Ohio without a major city (ie: farmland) gave him at least $2,000 in donations.
That's...
Um.
God, What the fuck? I think we manage to be Ron Paul's "Biggest fundraisers" by that standard, and I want to throw up a little in my mouth just for typing that.
