More on the Primary Donations

We're continuing to work with the Huffington Post on analysis of the primary donation data that I referenced in this post.  Most recently, Sam Stein--keying off the recent dust-up about Obama's "bitter" comments--asked if we could separate the donation for the rural areas of Pennsylvania from the urban and suburban areas around Pittsburg and Philadelphia to see how his donations levels compared to Clinton's in these two distinct areas of the state.

Sen. Barack Obama's political opponents charge that his recent remarks on the economic woes and bitterness of low-income voters put him gravely out of touch with small town Pennsylvanians.

But a review of campaign finance records -- conducted for The Huffington Post by the Spotfire Division of software firm TIBCO -- reveals that it is Obama, not Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has received the majority of donations from these very same Keystone State communities. 

Check out his article here.
