See what your neighbors gave to McCain, Obama
If presidential campaigns were decided solely on who could raise the most money, Sen. Barack Obama would have it bought and paid for.
But while the Democrat has raised nearly twice as much as Republican Sen. John McCain on the national stage, the advantages are reversed in this region.
In all Zip codes beginning with 450 — an area in Ohio that stretches west to Waynesville, North to Carlisle and south past Fairfield — individuals have contributed $695,993 all the presidential campaigns so far.
Of this, $288,201 went to McCain and $172,956 went to Obama.
Nationally, Obama has shattered fund-raising records with a $603.2 million war chest, compared to $332.9 million raised by McCain’s campaign.
And across the state, the two are in a near dead-heat, each raising roughly $5.5 million.
The map allows you to drill down and see the names, vocations, city or township of residence and contribution amount of every contributor in your Zip code.
Check it out. Notice any trends? Why do you think there’s such a difference in fund-raising amounts on the national, state and local level?
