Obama Draws More Montana Money
By Kyle Lehman, 4-22-08
Montanans have given more money to Democrats than Republicans in this year’s presidential race, and Barack Obama is the leading recipient of the Treasure State’s generosity, according to the Great Falls Tribune.
New numbers released Monday by the Federal Election Commission have Obama raking in $249,740, 31 percent of Montana’s total donations. Hillary Clinton is a distant second with $123,920 in donations, the majority of which came from her Missoula fundraiser. Republican Ron Paul may not have a chance at his party’s nomination, but by raising $104,312 he has topped all other Republican candidates including John McCain.
[End of article]I gave Obama $25 for the primary. I'll happily give give him another $25 for the general election too.
