Who Does Your Zip Code Support in this Election?

For the record, I was only there for the pot. I make special cookies for school bake sales.

I have a nice concealing cream for those Karposi blemishes dog....

Not sure I trust your offer of "cream," Bear...

I did a google search on the silicon valley contributions to obama and mccain, and this is what i found.

I also found this which shows most in our neighborhood in ZIP 94087 are democrats.

Using your link, CI, I get:

$3,929,657 was given by people who identified their city as "raleigh".
$1,505,080 from 1,006 people to Republicans
$2,424,577 from 2,027 people to Democrats

it's a high protein application fa sure...

Unaffiliated voters are obviously what swings NC:

Voter Registration as of 09/19/2008
Democratic: 2,706,623
Republican: 1,949,014
Libertarian: 1,180
Unaffiliated: 1,314,995
Total: 5,971,812

Another interesting tidbit about the McCain rhetoric is his charge against Obama for getting lobby money from Mae and Mac, but the truth of the matter is that McCain received over 160,000 while Obama received about 10% of that.

That McCain is a sleezeball who continues his lines of lies, and those attending his campaign meets are eating it up.

In Anastasia's old ZIP code (San Pedro, CA), there were 361 contributions found totaling $50,511

They were split over the candidates like this:

Barack Obama:
209 contributions found totaling $18,794.

Hillary Clinton:
87 contributions found totaling $12,679.

John McCain:
36 contributions found totaling $9,404.

Ron Paul:
16 contributions found totaling $3,235.

John Edwards:
8 contributions found totaling $1,077.

Mitt Romney:
3 contributions found totaling $2,522.

Tom Tancredo:
1 contributions found totaling $2,300

Bill Richardson:
1 contributions found totaling $500.

Or in charts, made with Visual Google Chart URL Generator





Interesting how the comparison demonstrates how Obama's base is in lots of small donors, while McCain, Romney and Tancredo benefited from having large donors.

My ex lives there. They may have contributed on the Obama side.

Is there a breakdown of who the contributors were to each candidate - especially to McCain and Obama? McCain is charging that Obama is tied to the lobbyists, but that sounds contrary to the common knowledge that Obama gets most of his donations from the citizens.

Yes. If you follow the link Squinney posted and use the "Search contributions" form, you can find information about each individual donation listing the amount donated and the name, employer and occupation of the donor.

The sign in my yard says "I'm a bitter gun owner, and I vote".

Very a propos.

North Carolina Voter Registration as of 10/09/2008
Democratic: 2,753,569
Republican: 1,965,684
Libertarian: 1,900
Unaffiliated: 1,342,044
Total: 6,063,197

Looks like a Blue state to me. Not sure why there are so many unaffiliated registrants.

1,080 contributions found totaling $491,433:

Barack Obama $374,274,740; John McCain $142,358,291

This is cool - especially since you get to see everyone's names.

I found some one from my company - I'll need to look him up. Also, surprising some of the occupations and how much they contribute - like a public school teacher contributing $2,200 - jeepers that seems high and some of the odd amounts like $2.

Updated NC Registration info since deadline of 10/10/08:

Voter Registration as of 10/17/2008
Democratic: 2,804,519
Republican: 1,980,936
Libertarian: 2,721
Unaffiliated: 1,368,240
Total: 6,156,416

Around 53,000 new Dems, 15,000 new Reps, 26,000 new Unaffils. Why 821 more would register as Libertarian at this time is weird to me. Might as well be Unaffiliated. Looks like the Dems are motivated, though.

Some registration will continue through Nov. 1st due to One Stop where we can register and vote at the same time.
