SOME MORE PRESIDENTIAL MONEY NUMBERS...BUT MORE LOCAL

The St. Petersburg Times political blog Q has reviewed the first quarter presidential campaign numbers, down to the Tampa Bay area amounts.

DEMOCRATS
Hillary Rodham Clinton: $83,150
Barack Obama: $32,399
John Edwards: $23,100
Joe Biden: $7,150
Bill Richardson: $2,250
Dennis Kucinich: $2,000
Christopher Dodd: $250
Mike Gravel: $125

REPUBLICANS
Mitt Romney: $77,250
Rudy Giuliani: $69,000
John McCain: $30,476
Ron Paul: $7,400
Sam Brownback: $2,959
Duncan Hunter: $500
Mike Huckabee: $50

One thing that should be noted is that the folks at the Times who compiled this list did not bother defining the "Tampa Bay" area. Different people define the area in different ways. Some will only include Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, others will include other coastal counties such as Pasco, Citrus, and Hernando. Still others include Polk in their description. Hopefully they will clarify that for us.
