Georgia by the numbers: In the race for the White House, the New Yorkers aren’t doing so well

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Here’s a pretty cool New York Times site that allows readers to track presidential contributions from Dec. 3 through June 30, state by state.

The designates North Georgia as Zip Codes 30000 through 30999. In that area, the leading fund-raisers over the past six months or so were Democrat Barack Obama, with $721,900, and Republican Mitt Romney, with $694,763. Democrat John Edwards was third in North Georgia, taking in $465,813.

The New Yorkers didn’t fare as well. Democrat Hillary Clinton was fourth, raising $383,015, followed by Republican Rudy Giuliani, with $340,100.

Huh! So Southerners are favoring southern candidates. Truly, I am shocked.

Anonymous, The last time I looked at a map, neither Massachusetts nor Illinois were southern states. So, can you clarify your statement?
