AP August 20


Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is raising more money in heavily Republican Utah than John McCain.


Through the end of July, disclosure forms show Obama raised almost $5 for every $4 his Republican rival netted from Utah donors.

Obama's campaign said he has raised $706,046 in Utah; McCain raised $595,320.
McCain is not only a Republican but also a senator from neighboring Arizona.

Obama's supporters in Utah explained the political riddle by saying their candidate is generating more enthusiasm than McCain.

2. This is Utah which is Romney country except for Salt Lake City

Money talks and bullshit walks, you can bet more McCain's contributors maxed out
than Obama which means more money coming and more voters.

3. Sorry, I was trying to make a bad pun.

He has been raising Cain lateley...

But this is awesome news. The Republicans don't want to throw their money away on a losing campaign. And SLC is fired up.
