2008 Money Race: Presidency

West Virginians have given about $584,000 to the 2008 presidential candidates, and nearly 39 percent of that total has gone to Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The New York senator has surpassed fellow Democrat John Edwards as the White House contender with the most Mountain State money, $227,000 as of Sept. 30, The Associated Press reports. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani continues to lead among Republicans.




Both Clinton and Giuliani have held fundraisers in the state. So has Edwards, including one that his wife was slated to headline but ended up doing by conference call.

All figures come from online Federal Election Commission reports.

Clinton's figures roughly, but not exactly, comport with what AP obtained from her campaign earlier this month. Some of the donors listed in the AP-received data may have come in after the Sept. 30 reporting deadline.
