Fundraising of Candidates per State - The Money Primary

[electric_knight5]

I've crunched the numbers and expressed the results in percentages. For example, in Alaska, of all the money donated to GOP candidates, Romney got 40.7% of it, Ron Paul got 35.6%, etc.

One important note is that John Huntsman has not yet reported his fundraising numbers, so he would significantly alter the percentages in large states like California and Florida or in states with large LDS populations like Utah and Idaho.

Despite that, I think it gives us a good idea of where we stand in each state. Dr. Paul finished 1st in Mississippi, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.

I also tabulated the number of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes for each candidate.

Could you save the data in a csv format and post a link? I'd really like to have this data on my computer.

I should also add that these numbers seem to be 'itemized' contributions and don't reflect the total amount of money raised by a particular candidate. I am using the numbers off of this link: http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2011/Q2/

Ron Paul leads in fundraising in Mississippi, Oklahoma, and North Dakota. Kind of an odd combination, no?

How do I do that?

Mississippi is the most conservative state of the US.
