West Virginians Most Generous to Clinton, Paul

Ron Paul is coming to West Virginia for its state GOP convention, in the wake of Federal Election Commission reports that show he outraised the other Republican presidential candidates in the Mountain State during the last three months of 2007:


Democrat Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, continues to dominate the overall campaign contribution picture in West Virginia.

The Associated Press has details. "Belying their front-runner status, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney netted only $600 from the state for the quarter, while Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., collected $8,715," the article said.

AP also notes that "Only North Dakotans gave less than their Mountain State counterparts during the quarter, according to the FEC filings. "
