Feb 23, 2008 10:41 AM | last updated Feb 23, 2008 10:42 AMLatest presidential donations for Seattle, Portland
Thanks to Opensecrets.org's website, here are the most recent figures (as of January) for the respective Metro areas. Seattle is miles ahead, no doubt largely owing to the timing of the Washington caucus earlier this month and the Oregon primary, not til May. Portland is apparently not catching Obamamania yet, though it does beat Seattle in Kucinich donations. And in both metro regions, McCain is doing very poorly, far behind Mitt Romney (remember him?) and slightly behind Ron Paul.
Seattle area
Democrats: Obama, $1,813,000. Clinton, $896,000. Edwards, $481,000. Kucinich, $31,000.Republicans: Romney, $424,000. Paul, 268,000. McCain, $232,000. Giuliani, $218,000. Huckabee, $47,000.
Portland area
Democrats: Obama, $313,000. Edwards, $293,000. Clinton, $197,000. Kucinich, $33,000.Republicans: Romney, $598,000. Paul, $149,000. Giuliani, $136,000. McCain, $112,000. Huckabee, $45,000
