I'm
not sure what the experts make of all this, but I seriously doubt
that
states like PA, Ohio, and MI were overwhelmingly supporting the GOP in
2008. States like Maryland (The Looter State) who would, and
theoretically have, voted for Joe Stalin given the chance, are of
course written off. (source)

Contributions per capita:
ReplyDelete~$7...California
~$363...District of Columbia
HFS. DC residents don't even have a voting representative in Congress, yet the residents contribute way out of proportion to their numbers.
Guess who has skin in the big government game?
Guess where the economy is doing just fine, thank you very much?
Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick
I don't know Rodg, just seems there's a whole lotta Ohio Union money not being registered in that table.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to see the same chart from 2008. And then compare it to the popular votes from those states.
ReplyDeleteIf a larger percentage of donations translates into a larger number of votes, I can see why Obama is back campaigning in Wisconsin.
Based on this, Romney 338, Obama 170, with 30 electoral college votes up in the air. http://www.270towin.com/ to chart it yourself.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the other 69% of the contributions in Nevada going? Libertarian party?
ReplyDeleteMore to the point, extrapolating from Nevada's numbers, Harry Dingleberry was re-inflicted upon us by substantially less than a majority of Nevada's Population? How can this be? -- Skyhawker, Doug
ReplyDeleteHalf of Wyoming's contributions are also unaccounted for by the Big Two.
