Hillary Stongest in WV?

So Hillary Clinton in ahead in Fundraising in West Virginia. No doubt a legacy of the Clinton years. But really is she doing that much better than other candidates?? More from the AP:
Clinton, D-N.Y., led the field of 19 hopefuls during the three-month filing period that ended June 30, collecting just over $28,000 in the state.

Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas, followed closely behind and also topped the GOP contenders in West Virginia, raising $25,520.

But John Edwards, the 2004 Democratic running mate, remains the overall money leader in the state. West Virginians have given the former North Carolina senator $88,754 so far this year. Edwards' total includes $16,654 from the April-June reporting period.



Oh good, I thought that had to be wrong. It was for the second quarter. Edwards is the obvious candidate to beat in WV and already one presidential campaign under his belt through here. Poverty is also his issue, something that West Virginian politicos are or should be concerned about.

Clinton is in Charleston on July 27 btw.
